REPRESENTATION The Applicant was represented by Mr. Selemani Kinyunyu. Mr. Denis Bireije, Mr. Phillip Mwaka, Mr. Richard Adrole and Mr. E. Bafirawala appeared for the 1st Respondent. Ms. Stella Munyi represented the 2nd Respondent while Mr. Nicholas Opiyo and Mr. Antony Mulekyo appeared for Avocats Sans Frontières. BACKGROUND The Applicant is a Human Rights lawyer and defender. Sometime in July, 2010, six Kenyan citizens were arrested and detained incommunicado in Kenya before being rendered from Kenya and handed over to Ugandan Authorities for trial as terrorist bombings in Kampala on 11th July 2010. Following their arrest, the Muslim Human Rights Forum (hereinafter referred to as “MHRF”), a Kenyan Human Rights Non-Governmental Organization and their families instructed the Applicant to pursue the issue of a fair trial and assist the suspects in the Courts of Uganda. On 15th September, 2010, the Applicant flew to Kampala, Uganda in order to attend their case at the NAKAWA Chief Magistrate’s Court scheduled on 16th September, 2010 and to petition for temporary admission to the Roll of Ugandan Advocates to enable him to defend the suspects in Court. Upon his arrival at the Entebbe Airport on the same date, the Applicant alleges that he was hurled into a trap by members of the Uganda’s Rapid Response Unit (hereafter referred to as “the RRU”) through an officer who kept calling one Al-Amin Kimathi. The latter had travelled with the Applicant from Nairobi. That officer pretended to be waiting for them at Niagara Hotel with a letter from one of the Applicant’s clients.
