On November 11, 2021, Nelson Havi, the president of the Law Society of Kenya, announced plans to travel to Germany to bring back Miguna Miguna, a Kenyan lawyer and activist.
According to Havi, Miguna had traveled to Germany from Toronto, where he had been staying for a while, making it impossible for them to retrieve him in Canada.
Havi revealed that he had met with other lawyers, including former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, Senior Counsel John Khaminwa, and Esther Ang'awa, to discuss the matter of bringing Miguna back to Kenya.
The LSK boss stated that they had gone to court to seek the removal of a red alert issued by the government in 2018 to prohibit international flights from carrying Miguna.
"We know that the path we have taken will be tumultuous but we are doing all that is legally possible to bring Miguna back home. That is why we want this red alert lifted," Havi said.
