Learning of news that some form 4 students have been caught up by curfew. The Government should facilitate their safe passage home.
COVID19 prevention is reliant on adequate communication that affirms citizens’ role and works with health professionals in seeking compliance - as opposed to punishment and attacks on the people to force compliance.
We condemn in the strongest terms the irregular and disproportionate treatment of Kenyans under the guise of COVID 19 enforcement that has occasioned the violation of fundamental rights and freedoms.
We call on @InteriorKE to urgently review proposed enforcement methods of COVID protocols and ensure that as much as possible they respond to the goal of preserving life.
Kenyans should continue adhering to the public health protocols shared by @MOH_Kenya in response to COVID 19. GOK should adhere to the constitution and human rights norms in all its interventions.

The lives of @godbless_lema and his family are worth more than political contests and ambitions. We urge the government to remember its obligations and grant #AsylumForLema!
Silence only emboldens our oppressors! We must speak out against every instance of injustice. Today it is @godbless_lema, tomorrow it is those people, next week it could be you. Raise your voice and urge the government of Kenya to grant #AsylumForLema
@Chahali
Imagine leaving your home and your country due to threats to you and your family’s lives, only to face the threat of being sent back to the danger you were running from. This is what @godbless_lema and his family are currently facing. @FredMatiangi @IG_NPS grant #AsylumForLema ✊🏾

We call on the Government of Kenya to URGENTLY process Godbless Lema’s asylum as per its obligations under international law and not deport the opposition politician back to Tanzania.
Read our statement below.
@FredMatiangi @IG_NPS
.@godbless_lema recently fled to Kenya with his wife & 3 children seeking asylum from GOK. We believe that he is in police custody in Kajiado. His lawyer Prof George Wajackoyah has also confirmed that he may be deported back to TZ.
