The opposition is now collecting evidence of police brutality against protestors during saba saba and last week’s three days of anti-government demonstrations.

Azimio la Umoja Coalition says the evidence will be crucial when it files a case against the government and the police at the International Criminal Court at The Hague.

Further, the opposition says it has already compiled a list of persons of interest as it ramps up its evidence gathering.

Azimio will also meet on Tuesday to review the proof gathered far ahead of Wednesday’s protests.

This as the leader of the minority in the national assembly Opiyo Wandayi called for a halt to what he says is rampant police brutality in Luo Nyanza.

“We are seeing a systematic onslaught on unarmed peaceful civilians by police or people who call themselves police, some are in uniform others are not, the kind of aggression and brutality we see in Luo Nyanza is something that has never been witnessed,” he said.

The call comes a day after the Law Society of Kenya Nyanza chapter and Human Rights group began documenting alleged cases of atrocities by the police.

The police has been in the spotlight over handling protesters in the series of anti-government protests.

The use of excessive lethal force by the police has resulted in deaths and injuries, and now the opposition says it is seeking to have the international community involved.

“We are calling on the international community not to lose sight of what is happening in our land,” Wandayi said.
