70. The Court notes that, moral prejudice is that which results from the suffering, anguish and changes in the living conditions for the victim and his family.26 As established in this judgment, the Applicant suffered several violations which inherently involve moral prejudice. These include imposition of the mandatory death penalty, the death row, all of them compounded by overall inhuman and degrading treatment. The Court further observes that in the instant Application, while the death sentence is yet to be carried out, the Applicant has inevitably suffered prejudice from the established violations caused by the imposition of the mandatory death sentence. 71. In light of the foregoing, the Court holds that the Applicant is entitled to moral damages as there is a presumption that he has suffered some form of moral prejudice as a result of the above-mentioned violations. The Court has held that the assessment of quantum in cases of moral prejudice must be done in fairness and taking into account the circumstances of the case.27 The practice of the Court, in such instances, is to award lump sums for moral loss.28 72. ln view of all of the above, and taking into account similar cases involving the Respondent State,29 the Court awards the Applicant the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Shillings Tanzania Shillings (TZS 300,000) as moral damages. 26 Mtikila v.
