Over the last few months, the police have been harassing and illegally detaining young environment defenders in Mathare.
They have also been sanctioning the destruction of our people’s parks and green livelihoods.
We condemn these actions in our strongest voices, and have written a petition to the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, to put a stop to this criminalization of young people who are involved in ecological work in Mathare.
This petition can be downloaded through this link:
