Missing Voices: Accountability Now

The Missing Voices 2022 Annual Report Accountability now was launched on 24 March 2023, the International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims. Missing Voices documented 130 cases of police killings and 22 cases of enforced disappearances in 2022, bringing the total number to 152. Nairobi county ranks as the highest in police killings with 53 cases. The Pangani police station in Nairobi County continued to be the most notorious when it comes to cases of police killings, with 11 cases attributed to the station; however, this is a significant drop from 32 cases reported at the station in 2021. The report was launched in Siaya County, commemorating that at the beginning of 2022 36 dead bodies were found in River Yala in that county. Key recommendations in the report include ratifying the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance without reservations. Find the full report here.
