Kenyan Police Allegations of Cover-up in Protester Killings

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Charles Owino, 19, was shot during protests near Nairobi, but police falsely recorded his death as a road accident, according to family disclosures.
  • Another protester, Shaquille Obienge, 21, was also misclassified as a victim of a road accident despite an autopsy confirming a gunshot wound.
  • Kenyan authorities faced accusations of covering up unlawful police killings and arbitrary detentions during protests against rising taxes and corruption.
  • Human rights organizations reported 82 enforced disappearances linked to the unrest, a stark rise from the previous year.
  • Police responses to the allegations have been minimal, with ongoing investigations by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA).
