This was a calculated 230 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.440 escalation in the campaign of intimidation by the William Ruto 231 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.320 regime against the KHRC following the extraordinary i llegal rendition 232 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:57.240 of our staff Martin Mavengina and human rights defenders holding 233 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.039 it accountable for gross human rights violation.

The Kenya Directorate 241 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:37.000 of Criminal Investigations DCI must act on this evidence, arrest 242 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.279 and arraign the perpetrators and ensure the immediate return of 243 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.279 the stolen devices.

We will 247 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.519 not allow our CN to be destroyed by retrogressive elements 248 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.559 that are seeking shortcuts to rise to power.

Kenyan police are often 257 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.039 accused by rights groups of using excessive force and carrying 258 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.519 out unlawful killings or running hit squads, but few have 259 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.359 faced justice. AFP report ends. 260 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.920 Ubly to do this region as a hostile region. It's 261 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.920 an enemy of the postition and of the people.

No badge, no title, 267 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:31.240 and no political alliance will shield you from justice. This 268 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:36.160 region is now hostile. It cannot be reasoned with.

We will not trust, will not retreat. 270 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.640 We will not surrender until every drop of ancient blood 271 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.559 is accounted for, Until the oppressive weight of the regilius 272 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:52.279 lifted off the shoulders of our people. 273 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:58.079 Mood to Yayote and by an I under coupigger police 274 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:03.319 mood to Yayote, an end a Kuvama police station. That 275 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.759 is the declaration of war in the Republic of Kenya. 276 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:12.880 It is not acceptable, my friends. No enough is enough 277 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:23.599 high I will protect property on an Issa be A. 278 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:27.599 It is the responsibility of the Government of Kenya, which 279 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:34.680 I lead, that is going to make sure Vita yak Maliwatu. 280 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.880 It's a comma. It must stop you. 281 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.440 And we are going to use whatever means that is 282 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.880 available to make sure that we stabilize the country. We 283 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.880 cannot accept Mayhem and Hanaki to to this destroy the development. 284 00:19:51.920 --> 00:20:02.839 We have three Israeli citizens, nartinell avivandos Chaim Raham have 285 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.400 been convicted for stealing properties belonging to victims of the 286 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.240 October seventh, twenty twenty three massacre, when groups of her 287 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.400 mass fighters invaded the Nova music festival near kobutspi Airi, 288 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.640 barely five kilometres away from Gaza, with over four thousand, 289 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.880 four hundred fund seekers at the music party, and killed 290 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.480 more than three hundred and sixty persons. At the music festival, 291 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.319 which led to the state of Israel waging wars in 292 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:33.680 Harmas controlled Gaza, Hesbella controlled Lebanon, Aran under Hyatola Company 293 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.440 Supreme leadership, and recently in Huthi's controlled Yemen, according to 294 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.720 Israeli based media und News, Nearly two years after the 295 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.599 October seventh massacre, prosecutors asked the Ar Shiva magistrates caught 296 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.079 to impose prison sentences ranging from three and a half 297 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.720 to five years and order compensation for victims on three 298 00:20:54.759 --> 00:21:00.440 Israelis Liryn Yakovov, nartanell avivandos Chai Raham, convicted of stealing 299 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.839 property from the Nova Music Festival massacre site. The defendants 300 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.519 roamed among bodies and burned cars, grabbing whatever they could, 301 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:13.559 Prosecutor tell A Needum said during Monday's sentencing arguments. She 302 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.119 noted that some stolen items belonged to innocent civilians who 303 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.799 fled for their lives or were murdered during the attack, 304 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:23.799 adding they desecrated the dignity of the murdered with bodies 305 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.599 still lying in the area.

The prosecution also requested a fine of 307 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:36.400 eighty thousand shekels twenty one thousand dollars for the defendants. 308 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.640 Anyone seeking to rob helpless citizens will not only lose 309 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:45.359 out but pay double. Needham said. The defense disputed her claims, 310 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.160 interrupting to argue that the accusation of looting near bodies 311 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.759 wasn't in the indictment. Saying they were near bodies or 312 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.039 burned corpses when it's not in the charges is an 313 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.640 attempt to mislead the court, a defense attorney contended, adding 314 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:04.240 that the reposed punishment was disproportionate. The act was disgraceful, 315 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.599 but not severe enough to justify such a penalty, the 316 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.960 defense said. Judge shosh Schrid responded, it's well known there 317 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:16.440 were bodies there, even on October eighth. Make your arguments. 318 00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.799 In turn, she added that the trio's actions were planned, 319 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:25.400 dismissing claims of them being foolish or childish. The verdict 320 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.799 is expected by late September.

It saddens me 350 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.960 that they knew him and did what they did. The 351 00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:23.359 rave was targeted by Hermas terrorists when they stormed into 352 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:27.359 Israel via the destroyed Gaza border fence.
