- Gemini collection (50 inputs)
Owner-authorized historical notes, prepared with AI assistance. They were NOT personally reviewed by an activated REKODI publisher and are not publisher-approved court records or signed editorial releases. The project owner authorized this finite batch on 26 October 2026.
Each entry states its checking date and limits. Earlier research dates of 20–24 October are retained; the Gemini additions received targeted source checks on 26 October. These are not complete certified docket searches. An allegation is not a finding of guilt, and a historical sentence does not prove present custody.
Case text: English source summary.
Summary
KNCHR documented abductions and arbitrary arrests during the June 2024 protests. Contemporary civil-society and news reports identify incidents involving online critics and organisers, including Shadrack Kiprono, known as Shad Khalif. This entry is confined to that June wave. The December 2024 disappearances, Kitengela incident and Mlolongo cases have separate archive records.
Outcome and procedural limits
Abductions and rights monitoring reported in June 2024. Individual detention, return and court-order histories require separate confirmation.
Source checking and limits
Public-source discovery and targeted checks on 26 October 2026. Source pages or indexed extracts support the limited attributed account below; a complete certified docket search, all original exhibits and current enforcement have not been verified.
