Abduction victims have issued a string of demands to the International Criminal Court (ICC) after being released from captivity.
In a statement through the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) on Sunday, the victims claim to have been repeatedly threatened and intimidated into silence, compelling them against speaking about their experiences. KHRC pointed an accusatory finger at the government, which they accused of muffling the voices of abduction victims. "Victims and survivors of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killing have come forward to expose how the state has been tracking and intimidating them into silence following their participation in protests against the government," a statement from KHRC read.
