Description
PBI established a project in Kenya in December 2012, to provide support and protection to human rights defenders during a period of expected heightened risk during the March 2013 presidential elections. PBI currently has a team of field volunteers in Nairobi.
“We’re currently learning about the challenges faced by human rights defenders in Kenya…. they face criminalisation, police abuse, arbitrary arrests, attacks, and extra-judicial killings. And they are those same inspirational people challenging impunity and standing up for justice.” Ann Wright, PBI Kenya volunteer.
