IMLU exists to prevent and respond to torture and related violations, ensuring healing, justice, and accountability for survivors and affected communities.
Kenya’s history has seen instances of torture, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, and systemic human rights abuses. These violations not only harm individuals but also undermine democracy, the rule of law, and social cohesion.
Since 1993, IMLU has been at the forefront of advocating for a society free from torture, offering survivors medical, psychosocial, and legal support while pushing for systemic reforms that hold perpetrators accountable.
Through litigation, rehabilitation, and advocacy, IMLU works to restore dignity to survivors, strengthen justice mechanisms, and prevent future violations. Because healing, justice, and accountability are not just ideals—they are fundamental rights.
