We, members of the Oromia Global Forum—a global alliance of 45 Oromo civic, professional, and faith-based organizations, individual human rights defenders – express our deepest sadness on the widely reported assassination of an Oromo Lawyer, a fearless defender of justice, human freedom and dignity, Mr. Abdul-Jabbar.
Abdul-Jabbar Hussein is one of few revered lawyers and human rights advocates. He was also known for his impeccable history of judgeship and a trainer of judges.
