Khurram has two cases against him... thankfully he has got regular bail. In RC 37, we have argued and concluded our arguments on bail as well as charge in the trial court... before Principal District Judge, Patiala House."

Kenyan court rules parts of law criminalising consensual sex between adolescents invalid https://t.co/rowDV5gVub

[Center for Reproductive Rights Africa @ReproRightsAFR]

Today, the Court of Appeal in Malindi overturned a landmark 2022 High Court decision that had affirmed abortion care as a constitutional right and protected both a young woman and a healthcare provider. It has now reinstated criminal proceedings against them.

This is the reality of criminalization: care denied, dignity violated, lives at risk.

We strongly disagree with this decision and will be moving to the Supreme Court. The fight for justice continues.

Extremely humbled to have worked on this case.

[Center for Reproductive Rights Africa @ReproRightsAFR]

Today, the High Court of Kenya delivered its judgment in Petition E490 of 2025, protecting adolescents engaged in consensual, non-coercive and non-exploitative peer sexual relationships from arrests and prosecutions.

The Court:
➡️Directed investigative, prosecutorial and enforcement agencies to distinguish consensual adolescent peer relationships from exploitative or abusive conduct.
➡️Stopped the criminal proceedings against minors charged with defilement for engaging in peer sexual relations.
➡️Ordered relevant agencies in health, education, and child protection to ensure adolescents can access sexual and reproductive health information and services without fear of criminalization.

This is a major win for adolescent rights in Kenya and we continue to advocate for their protection.

Justice Mwamuye:
The application of Sections 8, 9, 11, 43 of the Sexual Offences Act to adolescents engaging in consensual, non-coercive,non-exploitative sex is unconstitutional.
Big!
Children deserve protection and not being punished for consensual adolescent sex

[Edgar Kaiser @Edgar_k2000]

Very excited to see the judgement today.

[Center for Reproductive Rights Africa @ReproRightsAFR]

Tomorrow, the High Court of Kenya is expected to deliver judgment in Petition E490 of 2025—a case challenging provisions of the Sexual Offences Act that criminalize consensual, non-coercive, and non-exploitative peer relationships among adolescents in Kenya.

This case is about drawing the line between protection and punishment, and ensuring that the law safeguards adolescents’ rights, dignity, health, and best interests.

Opinion | The Jharkhand High Court orders fresh judicial probes into 262 of 427 custodial deaths, flags grave legal violations, and links them to wider national failures on torture, accountability and compensation. This could be a great model for every state where custodial deaths go un-investigated and families go uncompensated. Read:

“I did not know that this visit would inaugurate the longest battle of my life.” In 2012, #MHA officers arrived at People’s Watch to inspect financial records. What followed was 14 years of suspension orders, a #CBI #raid that carried away 98,000 documents, and #foreignfunding blocked for nearly a decade, all without a single line of credible evidence ever produced against them.

Henri Tiphagne’s account of fighting the #FCRA regime is the human face of what regulatory tightening actually costs. Over 21,000 organisations have lost their licences since 2014. The 2026 #Amendment proposes to seize their assets too. @Tiphagne @peopleswatch @Edgar_k2000

Rickey Radhan Pandit Vetrivel has been appointed as OSD to the Chief Minister. Though he is believed to be Vijay’s personal astrologer, he has now been given a government post. An unnecessary decision, in my view

Very true @Ahmedshabbir20
Last few years, the left parties were not given the due respect they deserve! At least now, through their support to @TVKVijayHQ, the left parties are receiving the due attention and respect they deserve. I hope their ideologies are also respected too.

Heartwarming to see a Communist party leader receiving such a reception.

Hi Bharatiya Jhumla Party 👋
Under instructions of my leader Hon. @mkstalin , I had moved a Bill the very next day to implement Women’s Reservation IMMEDIATELY without linking it to delimitation.

Do you have the guts or inclination to pass it?

Don’t play politics with women’s rights! You are already exposed!

In this personal account, human rights lawyer and founder of People’s Watch, Henri Tiphagne recalls how a routine MHA inspection in 2012 spiralled into a 14-year battle of suspensions, CBI raids and court hearings. And why, despite it all, he will not relent. https://t.co/KxpCzMLprK
