Kenya Human Rights Commission says its legal advisor has been deported to Uganda

In a statement on Sunday, KHRC said that Martin Mavenjina, its legal advisor on transitional justice, was deported after arriving in Kenya at 10 pm on Saturday. He was from an official visit to South Africa.

The human rights body described Mavenjina's deportation as part of the regime's purge against human rights defenders since the June 25 nationwide protests.

Likewise, a group of goons stormed the commission's headquarters at Amboseli Road in Lavington, Nairobi, ahead of a planned press conference set to be held by Kenyan mothers on the eve of Saba Saba protests.

The group was planning to demand a cease to extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances and arbitrary arrests.

This comes amid calls for restrained police action ahead of the Saba Saba protests set for Monday, July 7.

The June 25 protests, held to remember fallen heroes of last year's anti-tax protests, turned violent as peaceful protesters were injured by rogue officers.

SabaSaba is remembered as the day when Kenyans took to the streets on July 7, 1990, to the approval of multiparty democracy in Kenya, leading to the repealing of Section 2A of the constitution.

Before then, Kenya was a one-party State under the Kenya African National Union (KANU) regime led by the late President Daniel Moi.
