The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins broad democratic forces in Kenya and the international community in vehemently condemning the fascist police and military forces of the US-backed Ruto regime in Kenya for the abduction, torture, and illegal detention of Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist-Kenya (CPM-K).

On the evening of February 23, Comrade Omole was violently taken from his home in Isiolo town and detained at Mlolongo Police Station without any formal charges. He was tortured and beaten severely. He is being held incommunicado, denied access to his chosen lawyer, medical care, and visits from family and friends. The Mlolongo Police Station is notorious for extrajudicial killings and systematic terror against the Kenyan people.

This is not the first time Comrade Omole faced violent attacks by the fascist regime. In early 2025, he was target for assassination at his home. Other CPM-K leaders have faced similar assaults, such as the abduction of Party national chairperson Mwaivu Kaluka in Mombasa in 2025. These form part of a broader campaign of intimidation targeting the CPM-K’s leadership.

Such acts are blatant attempts to terrorize the CPM-K and undermine its efforts to organize and mobilize the Kenyan people in their fight for livelihood and sovereignty. Since the rise of the Ruto regime in 2022, attacks against CPM-K and the Kenyan people have escalated, particularly in response to widespread protests against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Finance Bill, which sought to impose crippling tax hikes.

The CPP stands firmly with Comrade Omole and fully supports the CPM-K and the Kenyan people in demanding his immediate and unconditional release. We are confident that the CPM-K and the Kenyan people will not succumb to fear in the face of the US Ruto regime’s brutality.

We are in solidarity with the CPM-K in its bold declaration: “Organize. Speak out. Mobilize. Defend our comrades. Defend democratic rights. Defend the revolution. No prison can contain the will of the people. No baton can beat down the truth. No regime can stop the march of history. The struggle continues. The people shall win.”
