Schulman Bhattacharya, LLC has been engaged by Malik Abdalla, a United States citizen residing in Mogadishu, Somalia, to represent him in response to his unlawful detention by local authorities.

Schulman, Managing Member of Schulman Bhattacharya, stated: “We are gravely concerned about the illegal and unwarranted detention of our client and will work aggressively to secure his release and ensure that his legal rights are protected.
