Miss Uganda beauty queen, Rehema Nakuya, is carrying her mantle to the glamour of the Miss World beauty contest in Abuja, Nigeria. She is also in a battle mood to help liberate condemned Nigerian woman, Amina Lawal, sentenced to death for having a baby outside marriage. Nakuya, who is currently fasting in the Muslim Ramadhan season, left yesterday aboard the British Airways to London where she will join other contestants, her promoter, Jessica Kyeyune, said. "I am carrying a message that in Uganda, we have freedom of worship and that the act of stoning Amina to death is not a good one," she said. "We feel that fighting the battle on the battle-ground is the best thing. When I arrive in Abuja, I will try to pass on my appeal against the sentence to the Nigerian government," she added.
