An alliance of human rights organisations has called for the immediate arrest of police officers involved in the alleged illegal arrest, detention and killing of a youth from Mathare.
Representatives of the alliance dubbed Police Reforms Working Group-Kenya (PRWG-Kenya), noted that the youth, identified only as Collins, was reportedly arrested by police from Mathare area and later killed within 12 hours.
The 21 human right groups are also calling for investigation into the disappearance of two other youth from Mathare, who were arrested by police officers on the same day Collins was nabbed.
