Dear President Uhuru Kenyatta,
RE: KENYA POLICE BRUTALITY AND EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS
I am gravely concerned to receive reports of the police’s unlawful use of force against protesters and bystanders in Kenya, particularly in the western city of Kisumu in August and October of 2017, in what appears to be a deliberate campaign to punish inhabitants for continuing to protest amid chaotic elections. I was particularly concerned that protesters and bystanders were fatally shot, severely injured, and tortured. Kenya is one the signatory of international instruments that protect human rights of Kenyans as a people on all of the cases of intentional beatings and extra judicial killings that are taking place in the country. Extra judicial killings, torture, and police brutality taking place currently in Kenya amount to violation of the rights of the individuals, have raised these concerns. Kenya’s obligations under international law (including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights as well as the convention against torture are to respect, protect the right to life and human dignity and also to ensure that no one is tortured under any circumstance, or arbitrarily deprived of life.
I demand that victims of police killings have access to a remedy and reparation and that the perpetrators are held accountable. I demand the establishment of an independent judicial commission of inquiry to examine the activities of the police in responding to protests following the controversial election of August 8, 2017 and October 26, 2017. I urge you to publicly acknowledge and condemn the unlawful police use of force in Nairobi and western Kenya; to direct police and other relevant state agencies such as IPOA to urgently and properly investigate killings by police and use of excessive force in Nairobi and Nyanza during post-election. I seek your assurance that civilians in Nairobi, Kisumu, Migori, Homabay, Siaya and Kenya as a whole, will be treated fairly and humanely in accordance with international and human rights law.
I also demand that, the three major TV stations, KTN,NTV and CITIZEN be switched back on, stop harassing the journalists and opposition political leaders. I demand the release of all political detainees and if they have broken the law, take them to court. The government must respect our constitution at all times.

Police are meant to protect the citizens and not to maim and kill them. They are also not meant to make decisions out of emotions.
Please stop police brutality, it's not fair to arm police and unleash them on poor people who have no one to defend them, women,children and even our youth. Please, please, please STOP this .
Strongly condemned unlawful use of force by the state organs machinery on innocent civilians who are excpressing their sovereign right. The hyenas killing by the Kenya police is totally unjustified. It must end now.
The regime must be held to account for indiscriminate killing by police of the over 300 unarmed Kenyans based on their political and tribal identification.
I am a victim of state agents brutality. The continuous official violation of human rights by Kenyan government through state agents and officials must be stoped.
May GOD-ALMIGHTY grant the oppressed peoples of this world full independence, prosperity, and success.
We must fight this out

These killers have maimed innocent Kenyans and continue killing others whilst the West are not bothered. Nine month old children, 2 year olds , nine year old children have not committed any crime and yet their lives have been cut short because of greed.
