What can you do to an oppressive government whose police will be charged with abetting kidnapping and abduction?

This is an excerpt from my previous article titled below about two gentlemen, brothers, who were about to go to sleep when the police barged into their house, arrested them, handcuffed one and tossed the other into a psychiatric unit without any complainant records.  This excerpt highlights the mindboggling conduct of the OCS at Parklands Police Station:


to separate him from his own brother 
upon whom he relies for safety, 
comfort and emotional support 
in an adverse family situation



WHERE IS BADRUBHAI? "HE IS IN MOMBASA, HAVING A GOOD TIME.  HE IS WELL AND HAPPY, I GIVE YOU MY WORD, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM."  Alpha 1 LRM

...Badrubhai's whereabouts at this time are a mystery.  He is still being kept incommunicado in respect of his beloved brother.  Might he have been put away at the wrong kind of place and could he be feeling demoralised where he is right now?  We are very worried.  I have therefore made an inquiry with the President of the council to ask him to make sure that Badrubhai is produced and his choices are respected.  On 21.2.14 the President assured me that Badrubhai was okay but did not tell us his whereabouts so that we could go and see him.  It is not clear whether these whereabouts had been revealed to him and, if not, why not.  I wrote him a text that rejected an offer of conciliation without his recognition of Sadrubhai's unconditional right to talk to his brother immediately.  This right has not so far been recognised.





DID THE OCS INTERROGATE THE SON AND ATTEMPT TO ASCERTAIN BADRUBHAI'S WHEREABOUTS?

Update 21:55h, 22.2.14:  Sadrubhai and I have handed in a complaint to the police demanding that they find a missing person and this has now mutated into a more serious charge of abduction, with a demand for an immediate reuniting of the two brothers.  The OCS has not yet come back to us about whether he has located Badrubhai but he has said that he had been interrogating the son when we called him at about 17:30h today to alert him.  We called him again at 20:06h ("I'm still in a meeting").  




OCS SEEMS TO BE NOT READY TO CORRECT HIS ERRORS, REFUSING FLATLY TO GIVE US BADRUBHAI'S LOCATION


STOP PRESS:  OCS is calling us right now as I try to key in what Sadrubhai is saying to him....  "It doesn't matter" says Sadrubhai, "that he (Nahid) brings his lawyer but what I want is to see my brother.  They are denying me my rights...  but which place? ... He's been hidden....  But this shows that they have hidden him....  Why should they hide him?  ... Ya...  ya... ya... but also we....  but you should have told him that we did not commit any offence.... When he brought the LRM and the police cops he was at fault - we had not done any fault and this is what I am fighting for because my brother will really be feeling suppressed....  Okay I'll wait for your deputy to call me." (phone call ended at about 22:10h)


 

OCS'S REFUSAL TO SUBMIT BADRUBHAI'S 

LOCATION IS INCREASING THE RISK TO BADRUBHAI'S WELLBEING AND LIFEThe deputy did not call today (Sunday).  We now fear the worst: that the OCS Paul Rioba could well have risked Badrubhai's life and future by not forcing Nahid [at the risk of being arrested for kidnapping or abducting] to deliver him up NOW.  Is this not a form of support for an illegal position?  Suppose, now that Nahid is willing to go to court and will thereby be protecting the LRM and the police -- for wrongful invasion of property and arrest, too, I should think -- suppose Badrubhai is being overloaded with medication?  And if they are going to keep him away from Sadrubhai (which seems legally suicidal) will they not be forced to keep Badrubhai on high doses of medication for prolonged periods to prevent him from speaking his mind coherently, for example when he asks for his brother? It seems that the police has broken the law by not revealing Badrubhai this evening.  Neither Badrubhai nor Sadrubhai were asked to give a statement; nor did the LRM and Nahid give a statement on the material night.

A smart, well-spoken OCS such as this one would know the score - Kenya is a highly corrupt country where people's minds can be abused, where necessary, even with unnecessary medication or drug therapy.  WHY is he now risking Badrubhai's life and, if he is sure he hasn't done so, then how could he be so sure except in the knowledge of Badrubhai's whereabouts and condition from reliable reports?
