Watching Rights
Neier, Aryeh | April 1, 1991 issue

add to cart   close window

On February 11, 1991, in Nairobi, the author attended a dinner with about twenty lawyers who are active in Kenya's human rights defense bar. Two Kenyan human rights lawyers, Rumba Kinuthia and Mirugi Kariuki, could not be there because they were in prison awaiting trial for treason, which carries the death sentence. As a relatively affluent and comfortable group, lawyers in many countries are more prominent in upholding repression than in challenging it. Certainly, Kenya has its share of such lawyers and an even larger number who simply steer clear of such matters.
