THEMATIC REPORT 2017 10 clients reporting sexual torture and penetrating injuries. In addition, CAT-Kenya records a high number of victims that have experienced torture in ‘Settlements’. These clients are all under 18 years’ old and identified as ‘street children’ who live in Eldoret, in the Sosiani River Barracks Dumpsite. Police have carried out operations over the last two years to forcibly move the street children from the area. These clients all suffered severe multiple injuries from beating (blunt trauma), perpetrated by the police on more than one occasion.3 In Uganda, according to the data recorded, ACTV’s clients most commonly experience torture in police stations, at the victim’s home, or in military facilities. According to ACTV, police mainly torture at the point of arrest of suspects and in places of detention, often during interrogation in order to get a statement from the victim. This is particularly concerning because the Uganda Police Force is also tasked with investigating torture allegations. The victim’s home is attributed to those clients who are refugees who fled political unrest in their countries of origin. Other common locations of torture include in prison and on the road i.e. between the point of arrest and detention.
