Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". George Paul Oulu also known as Oulu GPO (died March 5, 2009) was a Kenyan human rights activist and a former Vice Chairman of the Students Organization of Nairobi University (SONU); the representative student body at the University of Nairobi.[1] His 2009 assassination is widely attributed[2][3] to his work in documenting police killings.[3][4]

Human rights work

Oulu was credited with an important role in investigative work behind police killings in Kenya,[5] including The Cry of Blood — Report on Extra-Judicial Killings and Disappearances,[4] which was widely publicised by WikiLeaks.[5]

Assassination

Oulu was shot and killed while sitting in rush hour traffic in Nairobi on March 5, 2009, along with lawyer and founder of the Oscar Foundation, Oscar Kamau Kingara.[3] Following the assassination, WikiLeaks called for witness reports and described Kingara and Oulu as "Wikileaks-related senior human rights activists".[2]
