Kenyan Police Have Killed 15 People Since Start Of COVID-19 Curfew

Kenya Redcross paramedics wearing personal protective equipment prepare to assist a COVID-19 coronavirus patient that is inside the ambulance before taking him to the hospital, in Nairobi June on 3, 2020. Simon MAINA / AFPKenyan police have been involved in the killing of 15 people since the country put a nighttime curfew in place in March to combat the coronavirus, the policing oversight body said in a statement seen by AFP Friday.

According to the statement, the complaints include deaths, shootings, harassment, assaults, robbery, inhumane treatment and sexual assault. However activists on social media have drawn parallels with Kenya’s scourge of police brutality, which often goes unpunished. It described the case of 13-year-old 13-year-old Yassin Hussein Moyo who died in the capital Nairobi on March 31 after being shot while standing on his balcony as police forced people into their homes on the street below.

“Although many killings by the police have been well documented by both state institutions and rights organisations, the security officers have rarely been held to account, including by the police oversight authority,” said HRW.
