The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) Assistant Director, Martin Pepela, noted that they are working to ensure families find their loved ones—dead or alive—for the sake of closure.

“It is the only form of justice for a family, even if it is difficult to execute,” noted Pepela.

He stated that there has been a troubling rise in abduction cases and disappearances, raising serious concerns about state actors allegedly using unmarked cars and hooded personnel to target young people.

“We know very well that there is an optional protocol when it comes to enforced disappearances, and the Commission believes that if Kenya ratifies it, it may help bring awareness to security agencies and the public about the seriousness of this issue as one of the greatest violations of human rights,” he added.
