We are in the business of promoting awareness, community organizing and advocating for human rights. Social distancing will not prevent us from being in the front line to ensure that human rights are promoted and protected.

All human beings are born free and fully self-expressed. The rest of our lives are dedicated to expanding this freedom. Being independently in control of our life choices and safe in our relationships with others is key. Our Constitution is built around these foundational ideas

Following the public interest in the discovery of over thirty bodies, Amnesty International Kenya has completed a fact-finding mission to the area around River Yala. Contrary to the statement of the Police Spokesperson, we can confirm that the bodies were dumped and retrieved from the river between July 2021 and January 2022, with more bodies being discovered, the latest one this morning. Further investigation is required to reconcile the numbers documented by human rights defenders (31), Yala Hospital Morgue (21), and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (19).

Introduction

My preferred name is Lucretia but I was legally named Ssenyonjo John, a transgender female from Uganda. I liked the name, Lucretia. When I recognized there is someone special within my body who is not John, I decided to name her that. I, therefore, feel bittersweet, special, and unique when someone calls me by that name. No one gave it to me; I gave it to myself.
