The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has condemned human rights violations allegedly committed during the ongoing 'Operation Ondoa Jangili' security crackdown in Isiolo and Marsabit counties.
The operation, launched by the National Police Service on Saturday, February 3, aims to address rising insecurity attributed to infiltration by individuals from neighbouring counties.
However, KNCHR expressed concern over reported killings, abductions and mistreatment of civilians by security personnel. "We are particularly troubled by the killing of a local by security personnel, abductions and enforced disappearances, as well as violent treatment of numerous civilians, including the elderly and local leaders," said KNCHR Vice Chairperson Dr.
Raymond Nyeris.
