    "content": "Families of these three missing persons are facing a heart wrenching uncertainty about the whereabouts of their loved ones. In all the stated cases, the abductors of the victims are believed to be police officers apparently cracking down on terror suspects. While we truly support the efforts by the Government, police officers, and the security agencies to fight terrorism, the recent developments raise deep concerns regarding the violation of the fundamental rights of suspects by subjecting them to ethnic and religious profiling. Arbitrary arrests and possible extra-judicial executions without due process of the law. The criminal justice system is clear on the manner of processing suspects. Therefore, it is important that security agencies uphold the principles of due process at all times. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following: (a) What circumstances led to the police abduction of Mr Adow Mohammed Hassan of ID No.25572443; Mr Ahmed Abdullahi Mohamud of National ID No.26323016; and, Mr Abdirashid Hish Mohamed of ID No.30391407? (b) Where are the three missing persons being held and the status of the investigations if any? (c) What measures has the Government put in place to ensure that the counterterrorism initiatives and efforts are carried out in strict compliance with the law and the international human rights standards?"
