Le pr\u00e9sident kenyan William Ruto a condamn\u00e9 mercredi la mort d’Albert Ojwang, 31 ans, en garde \u00e0 vue, la qualifiant de \u00ab d\u00e9chirante et inacceptable \u00bb, et a appel\u00e9 \u00e0 une enqu\u00eate rapide et transparente.<\/p>\n
Ojwang, blogueur actif sur X et Facebook, a \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9 le week-end dernier pour avoir publi\u00e9 des all\u00e9gations de corruption contre un haut responsable de la police. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9tenu dans l’ouest du Kenya, puis transf\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 plus de 250 kilom\u00e8tres de Nairobi sans d\u00e9cision de justice, selon la Law Society of Kenya (LSK).<\/p>\n
Sa mort en garde \u00e0 vue a suscit\u00e9 l’indignation et des manifestations nationales, rapprochant les inqui\u00e9tudes concernant les violences polici\u00e8res dans le pays.<\/p>\n
Cause du d\u00e9c\u00e8s controvers\u00e9e<\/p>\n
Les premiers rapports de police affirmaient qu’Ojwang s’\u00e9tait suicid\u00e9 apr\u00e8s s’\u00eatre cogn\u00e9 la t\u00eate contre le mur d’une cellule. Cependant, une autopsie r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par le m\u00e9decin l\u00e9giste Bernard Midia a contredit cette version. \u00ab La cause du d\u00e9c\u00e8s est tr\u00e8s claire\u00a0: blessure \u00e0 la t\u00eate, compression du cou et blessures suppl\u00e9mentaires sur tout le corps, toutes sugg\u00e9rant une agression \u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9 aux journalistes.<\/p>\n
Dans sa premi\u00e8re r\u00e9action publique \u00e0 l\u2019incident, le pr\u00e9sident Ruto a exhort\u00e9 le public \u00e0 ne pas \u00ab\u00a0porter de jugements pr\u00e9matur\u00e9s ni tirer de conclusions\u00a0\u00bb susceptibles d\u2019entraver les enqu\u00eates en cours. Il a demand\u00e9 au Service national de police de coop\u00e9rer pleinement avec l\u2019Autorit\u00e9 ind\u00e9pendante de surveillance de la police (IPOA) afin de garantir la cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 de l\u2019enqu\u00eate.<\/p>\n
Suspension d\u2019agents<\/p>\n
Suspension de cinq agents de police face \u00e0 la pression croissante, afin de faciliter l\u2019enqu\u00eate. Les manifestants ont accus\u00e9 l\u2019inspecteur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral adjoint de la police d\u2019\u00eatre directement impliqu\u00e9 dans cette affaire.<\/p>\n
L\u2019incident a raviv\u00e9 les critiques \u00e0 l\u2019encontre de la police kenyane, qui fait l\u2019objet d\u2019all\u00e9gations r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es de violations des droits humains, notamment de disparitions forc\u00e9es et d\u2019ex\u00e9cutions extrajudiciaires.<\/p>\n
Le pr\u00e9sident Ruto a reconnu l\u2019inqui\u00e9tude croissante du public quant \u00e0 la conduite des forces de l\u2019ordre et a r\u00e9affirm\u00e9 l\u2019engagement de son gouvernement \u00e0 mettre fin aux pratiques inconstitutionnelles et abusives des forces de l\u2019ordre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
