Kisumu Unveils Baby Pendo Park, Renewing Calls to End Police Brutality

Kisumu has officially opened Baby Pendo Park, a new recreational space dedicated to the memory of Samantha Pendo, a toddler who died during protests in 2017. The memorial coincides with growing demands for justice for victims of police brutality and ongoing protests across the country. The Law Society of Kenya separately condemned the murders of two advocates, Esther Wairimu Keige and Edward Muthee Kariuki, calling the killings an attack on the administration of justice. Meanwhile, a court order regarding land in Upper Imenti appears to have been disregarded, leading to significant unrest.
