People & Power investigates allegations that Kenya’s police are involved in extra judicial killings.
AL-JAZEERA - 23 Sep 2015
Last December, an Al Jazeera network investigation
examined shocking claims that the government of Kenya has been running
secret police death squads, tasked with assassinating suspected

In this deeply worrying film, Ali discovers that mysterious killings
are indeed continuing amid a culture of apparent impunity, leaving
Kenyan security forces open to suspicions that they are unaccountable
