*NAIROBI, KENYA | 10 NOVEMBER 2026 —* The Coalition for Human Rights Defenders, Constitutionalism and Refugee Protection has issued a strong condemnation over the reported abduction and continued enforced disappearance of Advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi.
In an official statement issued in Nairobi on 10 November 2026, the Coalition says Advocate Abdi was reportedly seized by armed individuals along Muchai Road, off Ngong Road, Nairobi, on 1 November 2026, and his whereabouts remain unknown despite court interventions and public demands for accountability.
*HUMAN RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL CONCERNS*
The Coalition has raised six categorical constitutional concerns:
*1. ABDUCTION AND ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCE:* No individual or security agency has the authority to abduct, secretly detain or conceal the whereabouts of any Kenyan citizen.
*2. ARTICLE 29 OF THE CONSTITUTION:* Every person is entitled to freedom and security, including protection against arbitrary deprivation of liberty, torture, violence and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
*3. ARTICLE 49 — RIGHTS OF ARRESTED PERSONS:* Anyone arrested must be informed of the reasons for arrest, granted access to legal representation and presented before a competent court within the constitutionally prescribed period.

*4. ARTICLE 25 — NON-DEROGABLE RIGHTS:* Freedom from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, among other protected rights, cannot be suspended under any circumstances.
*5. EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS AND STATE ACCOUNTABILITY:* The Coalition unequivocally condemns extrajudicial killings, torture, unlawful detention and enforced disappearances. Every reported violation must be independently investigated, and perpetrators held individually accountable regardless of their institutional rank or political connections.
*6. INDEPENDENCE OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION:* The safety of advocates, witnesses, journalists and human rights defenders must be guaranteed. No legal practitioner should face intimidation, threats or disappearance for undertaking professional responsibilities.
SEVEN DEMANDS ISSUED
The Coalition has issued the following demands:
1. The immediate disclosure of Advocate Abshir Abdi's whereabouts and his unconditional release if unlawfully detained.
2. If the State has any lawful grounds for his arrest, he must be immediately produced before a competent court and afforded all constitutional protections.
3. An independent, impartial and transparent investigation into the circumstances of his disappearance, including the alleged involvement of armed individuals and any security personnel.
4. The preservation and independent examination of CCTV footage, vehicle records, communication evidence and other relevant forensic material.
5. Accountability for every individual found responsible, irrespective of rank, office or political influence.
6. Effective protection for Abdi's family, legal representatives, witnesses and other persons participating in the proceedings.
7. An end to abductions, torture, extrajudicial executions and intimidation of citizens and human rights defenders.

*OUR POSITION: NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW*
In its position, the Coalition states: "The Constitution of Kenya is supreme. No security agency, government official, political office holder or individual is above the law."
"National security must never become a justification for violating human dignity, constitutional freedoms and the fundamental right to life."
"The responsibility to protect citizens rests with the State, and accountability cannot be replaced by institutional denials or silence."
"A missing Kenyan deserves answers. A detained Kenyan deserves justice. A deceased Kenyan deserves an independent investigation and accountability."
The Coalition has called upon the National Police Service (NPS), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and relevant international human rights institutions to ensure urgent and independent attention to the matter.
*The Coalition concludes:*
_WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR ABSHIR ABDI._
_END ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES._
_END EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS._
_UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION._
_NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW._
