Constitutional Violations

The violent suppression of peaceful protests constitutes a clear violation of the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. Each resulting abduction bring trauma, suffering and underscores a grave failure to uphold and adhere to constitutional and human rights obligations.

⚖️ 1. Article 28 -29 Human Dignity & Protection from Torture – (Kenya 2010 Constitution)

“Every person has inherent dignity and the right to have that dignity respected and protected.” — Article 28 “Every person has the right to freedom and security... which includes the right not to be treated or punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading manner.” — Article 29(f)

🕊️ 2. Article 37 – Assembly, Demonstration, Picketing and Petition (Kenya 2010 Constitution)

“Every person has the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities.” — Article 37

⚖️ 3.Article 50 – Presumption of Innocence in Kenyan Law - (Kenya 2010 Constitution)

In Kenyan law, the right to a fair trial — including the presumption of innocence — is firmly protected under the Kenya 2010 constitution.

Article 50(2)(a) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 states:

"Every accused person has the right to a fair trial, which includes the right—

(a) to be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved;"

This means that:

An accused person does not have to prove their innocence.
The burden of proof rests on the prosecution.
The prosecution must prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
Any doubt must be resolved in favour of the accused.

Principles of a Fair Trial in Kenya

Fair hearing: Conducted before an independent and impartial court.
Legal representation: The accused has the right to choose and be represented by a legal practitioner.
Disclosure of evidence: The prosecution is required to disclose all relevant evidence to the defence.
Timely trial: The trial must be conducted without unreasonable delay.
