Kenyans expressed their profound horror on the extra-judicial killings of lawyer Willie Kimani, his client Josephat Mwenda and taxi man Joseph Muiruri through nationwide protests. The blatant impunity with which our security agencies execute innocent Kenyans was unreservedly condemned as the nation came to terms with the reality of the rule of the jungle that citizens are sometimes subjected to.
For the Muslim community, extra-judicial killings and inhuman treatment of suspects have become nearly routine under the guise of war on terror. Police executions have no justification, and certainly should have no place in this country. Once we allow it in a part of this country, or on a section of our society, it will become the norm.
