, 5 February 2008 – Following the agreement late last week from the Government of Kenya, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Louise Arbour, will deploy a fact-finding mission to assess allegations of grave human rights violations committed in Kenya in the recent weeks.
Published news reports indicate that the escalating violence in Kenya has gone beyond disputes about the recent presidential elections and moved to a disturbing trend toward ethnic cleansing. Our latest reports include a new report from David Adiletta, OP, Vicar Provincial and continuing updates from Kevin Kraft, OP and Maryknoll Sr. Katie Erisman.
