PRESS STATEMENT
Enforced Disappearances, Torture and other Human Rights Violations following the 25thJune 2026 Protests Marking the 2nd Anniversary of the 2024 Gen Z Protests.

This statement documents some of the grave human rights violations that occurred and continue to emerge in connection with the protests. The Commission calls for urgent action and accountability.

Enforced Disappearances.

@HakiKNCHR documented seven (7) incidents of enforced disappearance of peaceful protestors by the police on 25th June 2026. Six (6) protestors: Boniface Mulinge Muteti, Elisha Ochieng Alam, Collins Otieno, Fredrick Ojiro, Christine Alubengo and Michael Ngige, were arrested outside Parliament, bundled in a police truck and driven away. Efforts to trace them were fruitless, as they were not booked in any police station. The police denied holding them despite the arrest having been witnessed on live TV news.
In another incident in Githurai, an unidentified male was forcibly apprehended by unknown
individuals and taken away in a concealed Subaru vehicle. Another protestor, Davis Lichuma, was found yesterday (28th June 2026) evening, four days after being arrested by the police during the protests. Lichuma, who was visibly traumatized and in a lot of pain, is currently in hospital in Nairobi.
The Commission has also received reports of three other persons; Macmillan Kiarie, Michael Oloo and Abdilaziz Duba, who were allegedly picked by security agencies last week in Nairobi and have since been missing.

Violation of the Right to Freedom from Arbitrary Arrest and Detention, and Freedom of
the Media.

The Commission had documented the arrest of three hundred and sixty-one (361) persons across Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, Murang’a, Bungoma, Laikipia, Machakos, Meru, Nyeri, Nakuru and Nyamira counties.
The Commission notes with concern that, among those detained, were eighteen (18) Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) arrested in Nairobi, Naivasha and Kajiado.
The Commission is further concerned by the arrest and detention of two (2) freelance journalists who were taken into custody while lawfully covering the protests and are currently being held at Central Police Station.

Freedom from Torture and Security of the Person.

The Commission notes with grave concern the brutality meted by police on a Person with Disability, James Mungai, who was peacefully participating in the demonstrations in Nakuru town. Further, the Commission received reports that one person, Ben Kamiti, was shot in
Naivasha and was subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Violation of the Right to Freedom of Movement.

On 24th June 2026, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration issued a public statement urging Kenyans to report to their places of work on 25 th June 2026 as they
ordinarily would, notwithstanding the planned demonstrations.
The Commission, however, notes with deep concern that many individuals were unable to access their workplaces due to extensive police barricades erected from the early hours of the morning along major roads and entry points to the Nairobi Central Business District, as well as in Nakuru, Nyeri (Karatina), Machakos (Mlolongo), Laikipia and Embu counties.

Unlawful Use of Force and Failure to Identify Police Officers.

The Commission observed with concern that, notwithstanding a court order requiring police
officers deployed during public demonstrations to wear official uniforms and remain identifiable, a number of officers operated in contravention of this directive. Reports received by The Commission indicated the presence of numerous hooded and plain-clothed officers operating from unmarked vehicles in Nairobi, Kitengela, Mlolongo, Githurai and Ruiru.

[Wangu Kanja Foundation @WanguKanjaF]

Many survivors continue to live with the effects of conflict-related sexual violence long after the violence has ended. These effects can include long-term physical injuries, chronic health conditions, trauma, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress among others. #SurvivorsRightsMatter #CRSVAwareness

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Digital communities must actively moderate comment sections to trigger warnings and filter out victim-blaming or explicit trolls. Creating a safe space online allows for safer, deeper conversations. #SurvivorRightsMatters #CRSVawareness

[ElijahRottok @ElijahRottok]

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Provide actionable resources alongside every discussion. Include links to helplines, support groups, or legal aid. Awareness without a safety net can leave folks feeling stranded in their pain. #SurvivorRightsMatters #CRSVawareness

[ElijahRottok @ElijahRottok]

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Use trauma-informed language. Shift the focus from "What's wrong with them?" to "What happened to them, and how can we support?" Frame survivors as experts in their own healing and advocacy. #SurvivorRightsMatters #CRSVawareness

[ElijahRottok @ElijahRottok]

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Always prioritize consent and agency. Never share a survivor's story, name, or photos without their explicit permission. Let them control their narrative and how it's presented to the world. #SurvivorRightsMatters #CRSVawareness

[ElijahRottok @ElijahRottok]

@feminist_centre @utu_wetu @covaw @Grace_Agenda @ICJKenya @IJMKenya @IMLU_org @HakiKNCHR @thekhrc @PHRKenya Discussing sexual violence or Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (#CRSVawareness) requires care. Avoid graphic details. Focus on the systemic issues and the courage of those speaking out rather than the mechanics of the trauma. #SurvivorRightsMatters
