A human rights NGO has criticised Kenya’s President William Ruto for failing to reduce human rights violations, after it documented a more than twofold increase in abuses since the beginning of Mr Ruto's presidency in September 2022.
The Independent Medico-Legal Unit documented 482 cases of torture and related violations since last October, some 128 extrajudicial murders and three enforced disappearances.
It says the victims are overwhelmingly young males, with minors aged 17 or younger accounting for 44 cases.
The organisation says that the data implies that the president’s efforts to address police abuse and protect urban youth have fallen short.
