Kenyan Activists Demand Resignation of Senior Security Officials after Colleague's Death in Police Custody

Kenyan activist and blogger Albert Ojwang died in police custody, with an autopsy indicating assault, contradicting initial police claims that he fatally injured himself. The Inspector General apologized for misinformation as activists, legal organizations, and Amnesty International called for accountability, including the arrest of Deputy Inspector General Eliud Kipkoech Langat. Protests erupted in Nairobi amid broader concerns over disappearances of activists and ongoing political tensions following 2024 demonstrations.
