Forcing Miguna, or anyone else, into exile not in public interest
Lawyer Miguna Miguna is seen locked up inside the international arrivals building at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi on March 27, 2018.
I do not know Miguna from Adam but I do know that his rights are being trampled upon and it’s time they were respected.
The individuals hell-bent to undermine his rights are in total violation of international law for denying him his citizenship by birth.
Miguna Miguna has been in forced exile for a number of years. Despite court orders being issued for the government to allow his unconditional return to Kenya, the Canada-based Kenyan barrister languishes abroad. Dr Miguna’s latest attempt at returning home has, he claims, been yet again hampered by illegal issuance of ‘red alerts’ to international airlines.
I do not know Miguna from Adam but I do know that his rights are being trampled upon and it’s time they were respected and he is reunited with his family and country. His continued exile now amounts to torture. He complained recently that he is suffering psychologically, emotionally and physically by being kept away from his loved ones in Kenya. He has even been denied the right to mourn and bury his kin.
