This is sickening! Our constitution guarantees the right to human dignity. It's shameful for a country, on a day meant to celebrate national heroes, to treat its own people with such acts of livid indignity. https://t.co/A7GLnyEtP7

The army has not yet commented on the allegations. A 23-year-old man identified as Chikore told the paper he was on his way to the venue marking the holiday when he was stopped by soldiers who said he looked suspicious. “They wrestled me to the ground and later forced me to swim inside a filthy sewage. I tried to run but they hit me with the butt of a gun,” he said. Tweeters called the treatment of "shameful" and "despicable":https://t.co/BwEa4n6YHq is this what you having for poor Kenyans? In this country I suppose it's one man for himself and God for us all. Imagine our own soldiers being unkind ,uncooth and barbaric to our citizens. @thekhrc @FredMatiangi @HRC @NationBreaking @NPSC_KE
