In the days preceding the arrival of the Special Rapporteur in Kenya’s Western Province, representatives of the authorities told individuals not to speak with the Special Rapporteur about police and military abuses, and only to mention abuses by an armed group, the Sabaot Land Defence Force. On 17 February, officials told residents at one camp for internally displaced persons that the food aid upon which they depended would be jeopardized if they were critical of the military in their testimony to the Special Rapporteur. 31. On 18 February, staff of the Western Kenya Human Rights Watch (WKHRW) in Bungoma noticed the presence of intelligence officers outside their offices, where the Special Rapporteur was conducting interviews with victims and witnesses. On the following day, intelligence officers were outside the hotel where further interviews were being conducted. 32. On 19 February, officials visited the home of one representative of WKHRW (Eliu Siyoi Tendet) and asked him for the list of people who had testified before the Special Rapporteur. The military subsequently came to his home, but Mr. Tendet managed to escape. Another representative of WKHRW, Job Wahdalia, also received calls from officials asking for the names of those who testified. Mr. Wahdalia, Mr. Tendet and Eric Wambasi of WKHRW and Taiga Wanyanja of the Muratikho Torture Survivor’s Organisation all fled the area to ensure their safety. Subsequently, the families and colleagues of each of them have been harassed as to their whereabouts. 33. On 1, 2 and 4 March 2009, a week after the conclusion of the visit and after the Special Rapporteur had brought the matter to the attention to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Kenya Police officers entered the offices of WKHRW. They demanded from the remaining staff a list of the victims and witnesses who had spoken to the Special Rapporteur. 34. On 5 March 2009, two human rights defenders who had been in contact with the Special Rapporteur in the course of his visit, Oscar Kamau Kingara, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Oscar Foundation Free Legal Aid Clinic, and John Paul Oulu, its Communications and Advocacy Director, were killed in Nairobi.
