Commitment 4

On June 19, 2019, over four years after al-Shabaab gunmen stormed Garissa University College on April 2, 2015, a Kenyan court convicted three men who were accused of crimes in connection with the deadly attack. Rashid Mberesero, Hassan Edin Hassan, and Muhamed Abdi Abikar were found guilty of conspiring to commit and committing a ‘terrorist act’ as defined by the state and belonging to a ‘terrorist group’ as defined by national law; the former was sentenced to life and the latter two to 41 years in prison each. Evidence, including phone records, linked Mberesero, Hassan, and Abikar to the attack and to al-Shabaab. The court also tried and fully acquitted one other suspect.
