The letter was addressed to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the International Criminal Court (ICC), UNSOM, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, the European Union Delegation to Somalia, and diplomatic missions accredited to Somalia.

The lawmakers specifically named Banadir Regional Police Commander Mahdi Omar Mumin, alleging that he and officers operating under his authority were involved in a range of serious human rights violations and abuses of power.
