Last year, Human Rights Watch released a report, documenting the alleged killings of Kenya’s Anti-Terrorism Police unit.
In response to the attacks by Somali-based Islamic terrorist group al-Shabab on Kenyan soil, police have allegedly targeted Somalis by conducting extrajudicial killings in the region. The murders have reportedly led to a number of disappearances.
And while the police reject the allegations, photos of the remains of a group of people, including a Mother of five who was arrested Friday, have gone viral on the Internet, inspiring the hashtag #StopKillingSomalis.
Warning: The below tweets are both graphic and disturbing:
In response to the photographs, many Kenyans have tweeted in support of Somalis, insisting that the government’s alleged targeting of ethnic Somalis needs to stop:
And while the General of Police Joseph Boinnet did indeed confirm the death of the deceased Mother (pictured in final tweet), he rejected the existence of a mass grave, which the photographs suggest.
The bodies were reportedly found by a herder who noticed jackals in the area as he searched for his animals.
