Case overview
When the journalist and human rights activist Abdalle Mumin fled torture and persecution in Somalia, he thought he’d be safe in the UK.
But now, Premier Bank – a major Somali financial institution – is seeking to silence Abdalle, using lawyers based in London to threaten dragging him through the UK courts. The complaint? News articles – which Abdalle says were nothing to do with him – and a handful of social media posts in which Abdalle criticised the bank.
