New report wants donors to suspend support for anti-terror police

NAIROBI, KENYA: A global human rights organisation has called for International donors to  suspend their support worth millions of shillings  to the Anti-terrorism police and other security forces responsible for human rights violations in Kenya.

In its report released today, Human Rights Watch said it has found evidence that allegedly links the police unit to extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances of crime suspects in the country as well as arbitrary arrests and mistreatment of terrorism suspects in detention.

The Human rights body has now called on the Kenyan authorities to urgently investigate alleged killings, disappearances, and other abuses by the police and hold those responsible to account.
