IPOA investiga sequestros e ações policiais durante os protestos de 25 de junho

A Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) iniciou investigações sobre supostos sequestros, agressões e uso excessivo de força durante os protestos de 25 de junho.

A Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) iniciou investigações sobre supostos sequestros, agressões e uso excessivo de força relatados durante os protestos que marcaram o segundo aniversário das manifestações da Geração Z em 25 de junho.

A IPOA está examinando denúncias de Nairóbi e Mombaça, onde a polícia ergueu barricadas e utilizou gás lacrimogêneo e dispositivos acústicos. Alguns oficiais usavam balaclavas ou operavam à paisana enquanto portavam armas de fogo e utilizavam veículos com placas ocultas.

A autoridade registrou depoimentos de vítimas no distrito comercial central de Nairóbi e ofereceu apoio psicossocial. O órgão também está monitorando novos protestos em Mathare, Huruma e Kariobangi North.

Os protestos de 25 de junho levaram a 355 prisões em todo o país, com Nairóbi registrando 161 casos e pelo menos sete pessoas desaparecidas à força, incluindo o ativista Davis Lichuma.
