A coalition of human rights groups and civil society organisations has petitioned Parliament to investigate alleged extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and torture linked to security agencies, as Kenya marks Saba Saba Day.
Francis Awino, national convenor of Mtetezi, a grassroots economic justice movement, presented the petition on behalf of the coalition under Article 119 of the Constitution, which allows any person to petition Parliament on matters within its mandate.
Organisers led a peaceful march from Jeevanjee Gardens to Parliament Buildings on Tuesday, exercising the right to assembly guaranteed under Article 37 alongside the petition right.
