On 6th March, 2014, Sen. Hassan Omar requested for a Statement regarding the police raid on Masjid Musa Mosque in Mombasa County. The Senator particularly sought to be informed on the following: (1) What necessitated the raid and who ordered it? (2) Were other tactical options explored? (3) How many persons lost their lives, how many were tortured and injured? (4) How many have disappeared as a consequence of the raid, how many people were arrested during the raid? What are their names and were they held incommunicado for five days; (5) Of those arrested, how many have been charged in court and for what offences? (6) Did the raid contravene the rights of arrested persons according to Article 25 (a) and 49 (1) (c) of the Constitution which prohibits torture? (7) What are the whereabouts of Hemed Salim Mohammed who was arrested during the raid? (8) Has the Director of Public Prosecutions ordered an investigation into the circumstances of the raid including the whereabouts of Mr. Hemed, and if so, what is the finding or status of the investigations? (9) What is the Government doing to address the systematic human rights abuses in the coastal region in general and the killings of purported radical Muslim clerics in particular, with a view to curbing the alleged extremism and radicalization? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to state as follows. On 31st January, 2014, the Mombasa County Security Committee received information on the distribution of leaflets that were inviting Muslim youths with jihad minded ideologies to attend a jihad conference on Sunday 2nd February from 9.00 a.m., at Masjid Musa Mosque in Majengo within Mombasa City.
