LSK announces protest over disappearance of advocate Abshir Abdi

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has announced a peaceful protest on November 6, 2026, to demand the safe return of missing advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi and answers regarding his disappearance. The protest will begin at Milimani Law Courts, proceed along Kenyatta Avenue, and end at Vigilance House. LSK President Charles Kanjama emphasized that an attack on Abdi is an attack on all advocates, human rights defenders, and members of the public.

The protest comes after the High Court issued urgent habeas corpus orders on November 4, 2026, demanding Abdi's appearance before the court, alive or dead. LSK has joined the proceedings as an interested party, urging authorities to establish Abdi's whereabouts and secure his return. The Society has called for a thorough, independent, impartial, and expeditious investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, emphasizing the need for accountability.
