Pakistani National Abducted in Kenya, Lawyer Alleges Foreign Interference
In a concerning turn of events, Hussain Jarrar, a Pakistani national residing in Kenya for the past 16 years, was reportedly abducted by officers believed to be from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on April 8, 2024. Shockingly, despite his detention, Jarrar has not been presented before any court to date.
According to sources close to the matter, Jarrar has been held at various police stations, including the Industrial Area Remand Prison, Jogoo Road Police Station, and Nairobi Area Police Station. His lawyer, Dr. Victor Lando, has taken decisive action by filing a constitutional petition against the Attorney General, the Inspector General of Police, and the Cabinet Secretary of Interior Affairs. The petition aims to secure Jarrar’s unconditional release and demand his presentation in court if he is indeed accused of any wrongdoing.
In a press statement, Dr. Victor Lando shed light on a troubling aspect of the case, alleging that Jarrar is being targeted due to personal and business rivalries with powerful foreign individuals. Lando claims that these foreign actors have infiltrated Kenyan security and other state institutions, manipulating them to settle scores and advance their business interests.
The case has sparked widespread concern among human rights activists and legal experts, who are closely monitoring the situation. Calls for transparency and adherence to due process have echoed across the country, with many urging authorities to uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their nationality or background.
As the legal battle unfolds, the fate of Hussain Jarrar hangs in the balance, highlighting the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations of foreign interference and ensuring justice is served without prejudice or bias.
