كينيا: اختطاف الشباب المسلم يثير مخاوف كبيرة لدى المسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

يعيش المجتمع الإسلامي الكيني حالة من الخوف والهَلَع؛ وذلك نتيجة تَكرار حوادث خطف الشباب المسلم، وتُشير الظنون بقوة إلى رجال الأمن، وذلك بعد ازدياد حالات الاعتقال التعسفي الذي يَعقبه اختفاء الشخص المعتقل.

وتشير التقارير إلى أن معظم المخطوفين يُعدون من الأفراد الذين تتهمهم الشرطة بالانتماء للتنظيمات والجماعات الإسلامية؛ مثل: جماعة الشباب الصومالية، وهذا إضافة إلى ما تُسببه الشرطة من تخويف وذعر لأسرة المعتقلين، إلى جانب التهديد بإطلاق النار عليهم.

وتقوم مؤسسة "حقي" الإفريقية برفع القضايا التي تطالب الدولة بتحمُّل مسؤوليتها عن المخطوفين، والرد على استفسارات أُسرهم، وهذا بخلاف تجاهل الإعلام والرأي العام لمعالجة المشكلة بالمستوى المناسب؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Alarm and outrage are rising in the Muslim community in Kenya as the list of Muslim youth kidnapped and made to disappear by suspected police officers grows longer day after another.

"Why are they doing this to us?," Fatma Omar, the wife of Abdulhakim Abdallah, who went missing on 12th July this year, told OnIslam.net with her tears flowing down her cheeks.

"My husband was never involved in criminal activity. He was a straight and law-abiding person who could not hurt anyone. Why wasn't he taken to court if the government had an issue with him," she said in grief.

According to his traumatized wife, her husband went missing outside the Immigration office in Mombasa after receiving a call to go there from an immigration official.

Fatma’s husband was one of rising number of people who disappeared over the past months after being arrested by police forces.

The shocking disappearances comes as the community is still coming to terms with the assassination of at least 22 Muslim leaders and individuals by suspected government agents in the past two years.

Many of the victims of kidnappings and disappearances are often accused by police (usually without evidence) to be working with the Somalia-based rebel group, the Al Shabaab, which has staged several deadly attacks inside Kenya that have left scores killed or injured.

The latest victim of the brutal enforced disappearance is Suleiman Salim, whose traumatized families are still desperately searching for him for the past one week.

According to Suleiman's brother, Amir Salim, he was picked up outside his house in Majengo area of the coastal city of Mombasa by people who identified themselves as police officers on 1st August this year.

The armed men dressed in civilian clothes handcuffed Suleiman and bundled him into a waiting white Subaru car before driving off.

"I was in total shock by then. When I demanded to know why they were taking him away, one of the police officers threatened to arrest and shoot me if I continued bothering them," he said.
