Kenya: justice for Willie, Joseph and Josephat

In July an International Justice Mission (IJM) investigator and human rights lawyer, Willie Kimani, and two friends, Joseph Muiruri and Josephat Mwenda, were abducted and murdered; this sparked a global outcry for #JusticeinKenya and an end to police abuse of power. Five alleged perpetrators are in custody, and the first phase of the trial should begin this week after many delays. Over the next few weeks IJM invites us to join them in keeping its Kenya team and families of the victims uplifted in prayer. IJM will post updates online to help us with informed intercession during of the trial. To access updates, click the ‘More’ button. Meanwhile please pray that the court will proceed despite the continued absence of defence counsel, that the judge will not allow another adjournment, and for the witnesses and families of victims to have patience and perseverance through this difficult period.
