LSK Threatens Lawsuit Over Abduction of 4 Kenyans
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) on Friday, December 27, announced that it was considering legal action after cases of abduction surged across the country this festive season.
In the 3-page statement from LSK President Faith Odhiambo, the legal body asked families and friends of the missing individuals to provide accurate information that will aid in their preparation for the legal action.
Further, LSK stated that once collected, the data will assist in its implementation of a three-pronged plan that would enable the body to take the necessary steps against the abductors.
“We express grave concern over the recent rise in abductions, enforced disappearances, and related human rights violations targeting individuals, specifically social media users such as Billy Mwangi, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, and the reported detention of Gabriel Supeet at Ntulele Police Station amongst others,” they stated.
“In the face of the troubling trend, the Law Society urges families and close relations of the abducted individuals to come forward with comprehensive and accurate information regarding these incidents,” the statement read in part.
