The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has strongly criticized Uganda’s deportation of prominent Kenyan lawyer Martha Karua. Karua, a senior counsel, was denied entry and deported upon arrival at Entebbe International Airport on Monday. She was traveling as part of the legal team representing Ugandan opposition figure Dr. Kizza Besigye. LSK President Charles Kanjama denounced the action, highlighting concerns over the obstruction of legal representation and potential violations of East African Community protocols. The deportation raises questions about the treatment of legal professionals involved in politically sensitive cases within the region. Details surrounding the specific reasons for the deportation remain limited, but the incident has drawn condemnation from legal circles. This action follows a pattern of reported restrictions on Besigye’s legal counsel.
