LSK demands publication of resolved abduction cases amid calls for lawyer Abdi’s release
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has vowed to sustain its nationwide strike until advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi is found, as it called on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to publish cases of abductions and enforced disappearances it has resolved.
Speaking during a protest on Wednesday, LSK President Charles Kanjama said the society would not relent until Abdi's whereabouts were established and he was released.
“It is not a good afternoon for us here until Abshir is free,” Kanjama said.
LSK Vice President Teresia Wavinya described the situation as a sad day for the legal fraternity, saying the society had exhausted several avenues in seeking answers over the lawyer's disappearance without receiving any correspondence.
She said Wednesday's demonstration marked the fourth protest over the matter, with members marching from the Supreme Court to Jogoo House before proceeding to the Milimani Law Courts, where the matter is scheduled for mention at 2:30 pm.
“As LSK, we have taken enough measures. This is now the fourth protest regarding this matter. We have not been able to get any correspondence,” Wavinya said.
