The arrest and torture of Standard’s Isaiah Gwengi has exposed widespread human rights abuses by a police unit in Usenge, Siaya County.

Equal rights activists say they have evidence of abuses by the Quick Response Unit and the torture of Gwengi and equal rights crusader Rogers Ochieng was just a tip of the iceberg.
