Agenzia Fides reports (24/9/2008) that 500 people have been killed by so-called "death-squadrons". This is according to the "National Commission on Human Rights" of Kenya- who state that the killers are mostly "Mungiki", who Fides says are responsible for many other crimes. The "sqadrons" have been linked to Secret Service agencies in Kenya by Fides' source, and according to Fides' source, are politically connected and therefore very hard to bring under the reigns of justice. The victims were often tortured and harmed before dying.

Kenyan police deny any involvement in the crimes.

Kenya is still suffering from their recent election- where there were acusations by opposition of fraud.
