Uganda: Hartnäckiger Raucher in Dorfkneipe gelyncht - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten - Panorama
And ofc here goes the English translation:
Persistant smoker lynched in village bar
His passion was his death sentence: A guest in a village bar in Uganda was lynched because he didn't want to do without cigarettes.
Kampala - A man in a village bar had to pay with his life for refusing to stop smoking: on friday, a police spokesman said that a drunk mob had lynched the persistent smoker in the village Nagongera near the Kenian border. All participants were probably drunk during this incident.
The east African country has banned smoking in public places in 2004. The fines for breaking this law are an equivalent of around 35 Euro. There is no other known case, where militant non-smokers have resorted to taking the law in their own hands.
