Amnesty Kenya

From the screen to the streets, the fear is real and so is the resistance. Join us for a hybrid screening of “This Fear Everyone is Feeling It” followed by a powerful panel on the escalating repression young activists face online and offline. 🗓 Friday, 10th April 🕠 5:30PM 📍 Rex Masai Assembly Hall, Amnesty International Kenya (Kilimani) + Virtual This event is FREE. RSVP today amnestykenya.org/this-fear-ever…

From the screen to the streets, the conversation doesn’t end; it intensifies. We didn’t just reflect. @Honeyfarsafi confronted what fuels the anger, @okayojoshua named police brutality for what it is, and @husskhalid confronted the truth we can’t unsee: things will never be the same again.

When human rights go viral, our team turns viral stickers into powerful messages for justice, dignity, and change!

The Kisumu High Court has delivered a historic judgment awarding Sh 38.6M to 28 survivors and families harmed during the 2023 Sufuria protests. For too long, their stories of police raids, shootings, and violence were ignored but the court has confirmed the truth, the force used was unlawful and excessive.

Coming up. @amnestykenya Partner is running a training for para legals

Many of the young human rights defenders we engaged described living with fear, threats, mental health strain, and constant self-censorship. Our #AmnestyKikao panel brings together key stakeholders and survivors of abductions to unpack the systemic drivers of tech-facilitated violence (TFV) against young activists in Kenya and to identify concrete pathways for accountability and reform. #StopTheTrollsKE

This is the line between a criminal justice system that rewards impunity and another that upholds public safety and the rule of law. #KOT still on X do you have the license plates, identity of the officer, inbox us Over to you @IPOA_KE @HakiKNCHR @NPSOfficial_KE @ReformsGroup @InteriorKE @ODPP_KE @Kenyajudiciary

@irunguhoughton reminds us that the story of a just Kenya is not written in comfort, it is forged in places like Mathare and the streets. From Bena Buluma to the countless lives cut short, their stories leave us with a hard truth: opting out is not an option. Your safety today is not a shield from responsibility. It is a call to act. Because justice is not selective. Freedom is not a privilege. And a nation is only as strong as the rights it defends for everyone, especially those denied them. #MissingVoicesKE #UnbowedForJustice

As the quest to compensate victims of police violence moves forward, the KNCHR faces a sensitive, complex task. From verification to dignity, accountability to emotional support, the path to reparations must be survivor‑centred and transparent.

Extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances are not just human rights violations, they are a direct assault on democracy, the rule of law, and human dignity. As Kenya moves closer to the 2027 elections, the patterns documented in this report raise urgent concerns.

Urban centers, particularly Nairobi, continue to record the highest number of police killings, reinforcing long-standing patterns of state violence in densely populated areas. #UnbowedForJustice #EndPoliceBrutalityKE #MissingVoicesKE

There were 131 documented cases of police violence recorded in 2025. 125 cases were police killings (a 20% increase from 2024) and 6 cases were enforced disappearances (an 89% decrease from 2024). #UnbowedForJustice #EndPoliceBrutalityKE #MissingVoicesKE
