A section of reformed youth in Mathare, Nairobi, have raised an alarm over recent police harassment that led to the injuries of several eco-warriors in the area during a police operation.
On Friday, they took to the streets protesting the police assault, stressing that they were unfairly targeted while inside their houses despite having left the life of crime and joined the ecological justice network.
The youths faulted Nyumba Kumi leaders as being part of the officials who harassed them while looking for a murder suspect who killed a man walking his three-year-old son to school on Monday.
They pointed out the lack of arrest of any of them despite being treated as suspects almost every time such an operation was carried out in the area.
