We invite you to join a crucial movement advocating against the gross human rights violations faced by Muna Ibrahim Abikar, a former member of the Somali Federal Parliament. Her case is not merely a personal tragedy; it embodies a broader crisis concerning human rights and judicial fairness in Somalia.
Muna has become a poignant symbol of the countless individuals unjustly imprisoned due to political motivations and systemic corruption within the judicial framework.
Her ordeal began when she lent a significant sum of money to Dahir Sheikh Ahmed, a powerful figure who subsequently made baseless allegations against her, culminating in her wrongful imprisonment.
This alarming situation illuminates the manipulation of the legal system, where power and influence are wielded to serve personal agendas, violating individual rights and eroding public trust in governance and judicial institutions.
For over three years, Muna has languished in Mogadishu’s central prison, enduring detention without any credible evidence supporting the charges against her. This prolonged incarceration without due process highlights a pervasive pattern of human rights abuses in the region.
Reports indicate that the judicial system is often susceptible to political pressures, leaving many individuals vulnerable to wrongful accusations and unjust imprisonment.
During her time in prison, Muna’s health has significantly deteriorated, underscoring the urgent need for intervention. Human rights organizations and international entities have a vital role in advocating for her release and pressing for necessary reforms within the Somali judicial system to prevent such injustices from recurring.
This call for action extends beyond Muna; it seeks to emphasize the importance of upholding human rights and ensuring that the rule of law prevails in Somalia. We urge you to utilize your platform to amplify this message, advocate for accountability, and restore dignity to those wrongfully imprisoned.
Your voice matters in this fight for justice. Together, we can bring attention to Muna’s plight and advocate for a system that respects human rights for all.
Thank you for your support and solidarity. #JusticeForMuna #HumanRights #BaraaweHRP
