INSIDE NYAYO TORTURE CHAMBERS

Image
The journey to the second liberation of Kenya was not a walk in the park.  People suffered. Liberators were anguished. Freedom fighters were treated callously and most of them have remained with physical injuries to date. Here are some of the activities that took place inside this torture room that was used to silence any government critique in the 80s.  Stripped Cross-examination After an arrest and taken into the room for examination, the victim was interrogated by the servicemen while naked. During the interrogation, the officers would inflict pain on any part of the body when the victim refused to cooperate. Murky Chambers Poorly lit. No lights. The victims were subjected to several days and months of darkness that some came out visually impaired. This also kept secret the identities of the torture officers whom, to date   have known names but nobody can recognize them. Nobody has their images and nobody can even explain their physical appearances. Water Tortu
