Le chef adjoint de la police kenyane a d\u00e9missionn\u00e9 lundi, alors que l’enqu\u00eate sur la mort d’un blogueur en d\u00e9tention se poursuit.<\/p>\n
La mort d’Albert Ojwang, accus\u00e9 de diffamation envers l’inspecteur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral adjoint Eliud Lagat, a d\u00e9clench\u00e9 des journ\u00e9es de manifestations \u00e0 Nairobi. Plusieurs manifestants ont \u00e9t\u00e9 bless\u00e9s et des biens ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9truits.<\/p>\n
Lagat a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lundi qu’il d\u00e9missionnait \u00ab\u00a0compte tenu des enqu\u00eates en cours\u00a0\u00bb sur la mort d’Ojwang. Il a omis de reconna\u00eetre \u00eatre le plaignant.<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Je m’engage \u00e0 apporter tout le soutien n\u00e9cessaire pendant l’enqu\u00eate sur ce malheureux incident\u00a0\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Lagat dans un communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Le sup\u00e9rieur de Langat, l’inspecteur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Douglas Kanja, avait pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l’enqu\u00eate sur les activit\u00e9s en ligne d’Ojwang avait d\u00e9but\u00e9 apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9p\u00f4t d’une plainte officielle par Langat.<\/p>\n
Ojwang a \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9 le 6 juin dans l’ouest du Kenya et conduit \u00e0 Nairobi, sur 400 kilom\u00e8tres, pour avoir publi\u00e9 sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux ce que la police a qualifi\u00e9 de \u00ab fausses informations \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 retrouv\u00e9 mort deux jours plus tard au commissariat central et la police a attribu\u00e9 sa mort \u00e0 un \u00ab choc de la t\u00eate contre le mur de sa cellule \u00bb. Un rapport d’autopsie a r\u00e9fut\u00e9 cette version. Il indiquait que le d\u00e9funt souffrait d’une \u00ab blessure \u00e0 la t\u00eate, d’une compression du cou et d’autres blessures r\u00e9parties sur tout le corps, sugg\u00e9rant une agression \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Le commandant du commissariat central, Samson Talam, et son coll\u00e8gue, James Mukhwana, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9s la semaine derni\u00e8re. Les enqu\u00eateurs ont demand\u00e9 un d\u00e9lai suppl\u00e9mentaire pour examiner l’affaire.<\/p>\n
Vendredi, le pr\u00e9sident William Ruto a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que son gouvernement \u00ab prot\u00e9gerait les citoyens des policiers v\u00e9reux \u00bb et a demand\u00e9 l’ouverture d’une enqu\u00eate sur la mort d’Ojwang.<\/p>\n
La mort du blogueur survient pr\u00e8s d’un an apr\u00e8s l’enl\u00e8vement et le meurtre de plusieurs militants et manifestants par la police kenyane lors de manifestations contre le projet de loi de finances. Ces manifestations ont donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 des appels \u00e0 la destitution de Ruto.<\/p>\n
Le Kenya a un historique de brutalit\u00e9s polici\u00e8res. Ruto s’\u00e9tait auparavant engag\u00e9 \u00e0 mettre fin aux brutalit\u00e9s et aux ex\u00e9cutions extrajudiciaires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
