  • Police violence in Kenya

    Nairobi, May 13 (EFE) .- (Camera: Irene Escudero) Just a scream breaks the night's silence: Are you going to kill him here? A witness of the death of Vitallis Ochilo Owino says. Owino is the last victim to fall at the hands of police in Kenya, a country that has lived under a night curfew due to COVID-19 since March 27.With just over 700 officially confirmed cases, for many Kenyans the real danger of this pandemic is neither invisible nor silent. According to community human rights groups, at least 16 people have lost their lives in police clashes since the restrictions began.FOOTAGE OF NAIROBI.SOUNDBITES OF ADELE (IN ENGLISH), SISTER OF ESTHER ACHIENG, WIDOW OF VITALLIS OCHILO OWINO, AND OF ISAIAH OMOLLO, POLICE VIOLENCE VICTIM.OMOLLO TRANSLATION:"I think that it is best, if police find you, for them to arrest you and take you in, rather having them beat you and hurt you in such manner. Now I can't work and I have a family, so there's no way I can feed them because I can't work now.""I was closing my business to go home when the police arrived and started beating me. I started to run, threw the speaker and tripped, hurting myself."
