On behalf of the Kenya Union of Journalists, Bloggers Association of Kenya, Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union, the Kenya Medical Association, Missing Voices Alliance and the Police Reforms Working Group, we award this certificate of appreciation to all Law Society of Kenya advocates who provided legal representation to Kenyans unfairly arrested or abducted for expressing their constitutional right to assembly and free expression.
Our associations bring together 100,000s of journalists, content creators, medical workers and human rights defenders working locally and nationally across Kenya.
We see your leadership in the nation’s homes, police stations, courts and mortuaries. We honor your unwavering commitment to protect the rights to assembly, expression, association and the constitution of Kenya. We salute your courage and stand for justice.
To all public defenders here, the struggle continues. We must demand for accountability and justice for the fallen, those injured and the families of the missing.
We urge you to act so that our constitution can breathe.
Thank you
