A section of reformed youth in Mathare, Nairobi, has decried police harassment that led to the injuries of several eco-warriors in the area during a police operation.
On Friday, they took to the streets protesting the police assault, stressing that they were unfairly targeted while inside their houses despite having left the life of crime and joined the ecological justice network.
In their complaints, they also named Nyumba Kumi leaders as being part of the officials who harassed them while looking for a murder suspect who killed a man walking his three-year-old son to school on Monday. "At around 2 am to 3 am, we heard banging on the door and we asked who it was.
Their voices sounded like village elders but we refused to open the door.
