Survivors of police brutality from the Western and Nyanza regions are pushing for justice through the Kenya Champions for Justice, an association that brings together victims who have given up seeking legal redress.

This comes as the International Justice Mission (IJM) revealed it is currently tracking over 100 police brutality cases that are pending before various courts across the country.
