The two men – Mr Oscar Kamau Kingara and Mr John Paul Oulu – worked for the Oscar Foundation, a human rights organisation providing free legal aid services to the poor. The Special Rapporteur met with them two weeks ago during his February fact-finding mission to Kenya to discuss the issue of killings by police.
Alston called for the Government of Kenya to ensure that an independent investigation was carried out, by bringing in an independent team from Scotland Yard or the South African Police.

About the Project
The Project on Extrajudicial Executions was established by Philip Alston to support his work as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions. His mandate from the United Nations is to respond effectively to cases of extrajudicial killings around the world.
The Project is directed by Sarah Knuckey and is part of the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at the New York University School of Law.
