The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has said it will sue the Ugandan government at the East African Court of Justice for human rights violation in the detention of Bobi Wine.
“We call upon the governments of East African states, including Kenya, to apply pressure on Uganda to comply with these demands and respect international human rights instruments,” LSK Nairobi Chairman Charles Kanjama said.
Uganda has attracted international condemnation over the arrest and alleged torture of opposition politicians critical of President Yoweri Museveni’s administration.
In a Press briefing in Nairobi on Wednesday, LSK demanded that Uganda ” immediately and unconditionally” release musician-turned-politician Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly by his stage name Bobi Wine, from military detention.
“We are also working with the East Africa Law Society, to also seek to engage in further legal action both in the courts in Uganda and East Africa Court of Justice and any other court, so that the truth of what has happened in Uganda can come to light and to show solidarity with people of Uganda,” Kanjama added.
