The critique was unveiled alongside a report scrutinizing the law enforcement actions and the resultant chaos that enveloped a supposedly secure governmental seat. Authorities, the report asserts, were given sufficient prior notice of the impending demonstrations by the youth, theoretically allowing ample time to strategize a containment that could have minimized harrowing outcomes. Despite this, protest actions spiraled, culminating in uncontrolled violence and breaches of Parliament's sanctity. The Law Society of Kenya, along with other advocacy bodies such as Amnesty International and the Independent Medical Legal Unit, have condemned the security measures taken-or not taken-during the fracas. Disturbingly, it was noted that individuals dressed in civilian clothing were reportedly seen firing on protesters with rifles and handguns. Surveillance and witness footage have recorded what is believed to be a rapid succession of 45 gunshots in under a minute, leading to several injuries and deaths. The human rights groups implicated are now advocating for the establishment of a commission of inquiry to delve deeper into the deaths, injuries, and missing persons from the protests. Figures proposed note up to 27 individuals are unaccounted for since the events transpired. The brutal aftermath of these protests also resurrected allegations of concealed torture sites, referencing recent disappearances that hark back to darker periods of law enforcement in the country. Adding to the outcry, accusations have surfaced against police forces for purportedly targeting medical personnel attempting to aid the injured amid protests. This alleged aggression towards health service providers has added fuel to the growing demand for accountability and systemic reform. In response to these critical issues, a petition has garnered the support of 12,000 signatures pressing for the initiation of a judicial inquiry. Amnesty International's Executive Director, Irungu Houghton, emphasized that this petition will be submitted to the National Assembly. The aim extends beyond addressing past misdeeds to restructuring engagements with judicial stakeholders and law enforcement to foster reforms that honor and uphold fundamental human rights. Grace Wangechi of IMLU highlighted that their investigations have identified 61 fatalities from the incidents, with autopsies conducted on 49 thus far. The organization is also spearheading calls for the release of those still missing in connection with the protests. Seeking to bridge these gaps in rights and enforcement, officials, including the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, have been urged to recalibrate police operations to align with international human rights standards. Furthermore, the Law Society of Kenya continues to gather detailed accounts and evidence aimed at securing justice and compensation for those affected by the unfortunate events-be it families mourning lost loved ones or individuals nursing protest-related injuries. The collective outcry from multiple fronts suggests a critical moment for Kenya's approach to both safeguarding human rights and managing public demonstrations.
