Booker Ngesa Omole has reportedly been kidnapped by state forces in Kenya. This was not a lawful arrest with due process. According to public statements from the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, he was abducted, severely beaten, tortured, and then dumped at Mlolongo Police Station, a facility long feared by poor and politically active communities and associated with extrajudicial violence.
His injuries reportedly include a broken tooth and a deep cut to his finger. His phone signal was traced to the station. If these reports are accurate, this represents a grave violation of human rights and an escalation of repression against organized political opposition and the working-class movement.
Here’s what we can do:
Demand proof of life, immediate medical care, and full legal access. Demand transparency about the circumstances of his detention and accountability for any abuse.

Regardless of political alignment, no state should be allowed to abduct and torture its citizens without consequence.
Silence only enables abuse.
