Haki Africa now wants Social Justice Centers formally recognized

Haki Africa has called for the formal recognition of social justice centres and their work in the county.

In a statement on Wednesday to mark the United Nations World Day for Social Justice, the organisation said many of the grassroots campaigners have lost their lives in their quest for social justice.

Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid said as a country we must safeguard our rights and freedoms.

“This includes ensuring those fighting for rights of others are equally protected,” Khalid said.

“We will not allow the county to go back to the dark days of the 1980s of detention without trial, imprisonment without fair hearing and killing without justice,” he said.

Nairobi alone has more than 11 justice centres. He said the government has a duty to not only support human rights but also support social justice activists.
