Comrades,
There’s an ongoing expose by a media group on rape and sexual assault committed against people while in custody (both lawful detention and unlawful custody, such as illegal arrests, abductions and enforced disappearances).
A deeply concerning number of cases are emerging, particularly regarding men held in custody at Kamukunji and other stations, alongside horrific accounts from women as well.
Absolute anonymity will be guaranteed to all survivors who choose to share their stories or information gathered through organizations who work with victims.
The media team understands the extremely sensitive nature of these violations, but the goal is to expose this brutality to force an immediate end to these heinous acts.
Every form of custodial sexual violence, rape, and sexual torture will be documented in this expose.
If you have any information, personal experiences, or accounts from others that should be included, even if shared completely anonymously, please reach out.
We must expose and try to put an end to this horrific systemic brutality together.
Remember, silence only emboldens the tormentors.
Speak up!
As July begins, keep documenting every act of police brutality. Every photo, every video, every witness account, and every signal becomes evidence that survives denial.
Records will always outlive propaganda.
A reminder that human rights defender Davis Lichuma's abduction is part of a record that must be preserved. Davis cannot speak until now. God knows what they did to him.
Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen and President William Ruto's government will one day be judged by the evidence we chose to keep.

If Kenya is a serious country ,governor kimani wa matangi should be in jail forgiving peope handout using county resources , but of course we are not serious .😭
They killed Albert Ojwang' and now they have killed Cecil Otieno.
Not in a police cell, but inside the vehicle of a PS.
It's time we make the lives of these oppressors uncomfortable.

The money lost in the last 15 years of uhuruto government can make us a first world country .. I hope Maraga will first jail both of them once he become the president ..
Look at this officer, concealed behind cover, helmet on, firing directly toward a crowd. He pulls the trigger repeatedly without regard for the consequences.
Around him are mabati houses, homes where innocent families may be sheltering.
Bullets do not distinguish between a protester, a child, a mother preparing a meal, or an elderly person resting indoors. A single round can penetrate those thin walls and turn an ordinary home into a scene of tragedy.
Why are we at war with hustlers? Why are ordinary Kenyans being treated as enemies in their own country?
I want to ask the Inspector General, Douglas Kanja: why does it appear that force is becoming the first response instead of the last? Why are citizens increasingly seeing armed officers as a threat rather than a source of protection?
And as this country bleeds, where are the voices that should be speaking for justice? How can men who claim to speak for God watch the suffering, the injuries, the deaths, the fear, and remain comfortable in the corridors of power as if all this is normal?
A nation cannot heal when bullets speak louder than dialogue. It cannot prosper when fear replaces trust. It cannot unite when its own citizens feel hunted rather than protected.
Kenyans are not an enemy force. They are the people. They are the Republic. Their lives, their dignity, and their safety must matter.
As the country grapples with a fresh wave of alleged abductions, a family is mourning a relative who was shot dead during demonstrations calling for the release of two protesters reported missing, as pressure mounts on police to account for their whereabouts.
The protester was fatally shot along Outering Road in Nairobi on Monday.
The victim was reportedly a businessman at the nearby Kiamaiko market.

The Paramilitary elements of the Fascist Ruto regime has been unleashed to continue maiming, abducting and killing innocent Kenyans.
This is very characteris of any fascist regime when the limitations of liberal democracy( parliamentary democracy) can nolonger hold the society in equilibrium. The extreme wing of liberal democracy, that is fascism, is pushed to the front to manage the crisis of capitalism.
Kenyatta who inherited the colonial police and it's Paramilitary( Kenya police reserve& Kikuyu Home guuard) transformed them into the infamous Ngorokos. Ngoroko became an auxiliary wing of the Kenya Police and it was used to do the dirty job of the neo-colonial state.
Moi came in and he did not disband the Ngoroko but he only transformed it into the 'Jeshi la Mzee', Kibaki and Uhuru used the disgruntled Mungiki which drew it's ranks from the poor rural proletariat and urban lumpen class until it reached a point where it could nolonger control Mungiki.
Ruto's inagural speech promised to dismantle all these killer squad but he has proved that no fascist Goverment can survive without such militias to carry out the open dictatorship against the rising masses of the people.
The streets have always been our centre of struggle, we shall occupy them and avenge for the death of our People and demand the release of all abducted patriots.

If Interior PS Raymond Omollo insists that "abductions have never happened under Ruto's regime" and that victims are just "locking themselves in bedrooms," then who exactly is the KSh 2 Billion reparation fund for?
You don't budget billions to compensate for "staged" crimes.
