520			_a"Approximately 300 Kenyans were forcibly disappeared in Kenya's Mt. Elgon region between 2006 and 2008, after being either arrested by Kenyan security forces or abducted by the militia group Sabaot Land Defence Force (SLDF). Over three years after a military operation was launched to flush out the militia--an operation that was accompanied by serious human rights abuses, including summary executions, enforced disappearance, and torture--the government has not provided any information on the plight of the disappeared, and their families are yet to have access to justice. "Hold Your Heart": Waiting for Justice in Kenya's Mt. Elgon Region documents the attempts of families of those forcibly disappeared by the Kenyan army and the SLDF to seek truth and justice. Human Rights Watch calls on the Kenyan government to open an inquiry into the fate of the missing persons. The International Criminal Court should also extend its Kenyan investigation to Mt. Elgon, the site of the highest concentration of pre- and post-election violence in the country."--P. [4] of cover.
