LSK has called for a Nairobi protest over advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi’s disappearance.
LSK urges advocates to gather at Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday before marching to Jogoo House to demand answers from the police chief.
Lawyers will protest in Nairobi on Tuesday as the High Court rules on missing advocate Abdi’s whereabouts. The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has urged advocates to assemble at Milimani Law Courts ahead of the decision.
The case concerns Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi, whose whereabouts remain unknown. Through habeas corpus proceedings, the lawyers seek to compel the State to produce him before the court.
After gathering at Milimani, advocates will march to Jogoo House to demand answers from the Inspector General of Police. The planned demonstration will also press security agencies to account for the lawyer’s disappearance.
LSK seeks answers on missing advocate Abdi
The High Court’s ruling follows proceedings held on November 5 to establish Abdi’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, LSK says it continues to pursue all available legal and institutional interventions to secure his safe return.
The Society has also renewed its demand for a substantive response from security agencies. That demand concerns a memorandum it previously presented to the Inspector General of Police over the missing advocate.
Beyond the court proceedings, LSK has urged lawyers to attend Tuesday’s gathering in solidarity with their missing colleague. It says the case raises wider concerns about the safety of legal practitioners and respect for the rule of law in Kenya.
