Lawyers protest in Nairobi, demand release of abducted colleague Abshir Abdi

Dozens of lawyers, led by Law Society of Kenya President Charles Kanjama, have staged peaceful protests in Nairobi, demanding the release of their colleague, Abshir Abdi, who was abducted along Muchai Drive on November 1st. The lawyers marched from the Milimani Law Courts to the Supreme Court before proceeding to the office of Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, where they presented a memorandum. They vowed to resume protests next week if their colleague is not released. The lawyers also called for an end to enforced disappearances, which they say violate the Constitution and undermine the rule of law.
