The Police and Mungiki II

There’s a second report out, from the Oscar Foundation this time (no I haven’t heard of them before either), which makes for even more gruesome reading than the first. They claim to have documented 8040 cases of death by execution or torture at the hands of ’state security agents’ in the five years between August 2002 and August 2007 (page 5). Another 4070 disappeared persons remain unaccounted for. The report is thin on evidence and long on assertion. Still, it is now clear that the Commissioner of Police has a case to answer.
