The High Court was Monday transformed into a makeshift cinema as videos related to the ongoing wave of abductions were presented.
One of the clips shown featured President William Ruto declaring, "Tutasimamisha hizo abductions" with another showing veteran Journalist Macharia Gaitho being abducted by unknown individuals at Karen police station.
The journalist is seen being shoved into a white probox while at the station by people in civilian clothes as police looked.
Also played in court was a clip of Blogger Peter Muteti who was allegedly abducted by unknown men who concealed their faces on December 21 while at a shop in Uthiru, Nairobi County.
The petitioners in the case led by the Law Society of Kenya said the purpose of the clips was to demonstrate how the arrests were being conducted and how people were being treated.
Several links were supplied to the court as evidence in the case.
The court at the same time heard that two of the petitioners among them Steven Kavingo are still missing.
Those who were released are Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, Billy Mwangi, Gideon Kibet and Rony Kiplagat.
LSK Boss Faith Odhiambo told Justice Bahati Mwamuye that they still don't have answers regarding the whereabouts of the two missing persons.
"The duty bearers have failed to produce the two in court and the only way is that they must be held accountable because they have access to public resources and they cannot argue that they don't know where they are," she said.
Judge Mwamuye had issued orders requiring the production of the petitioners and the appearance of the IG in court over their alleged abduction.
At the time the orders were issued, all of them were missing including Billy Mwangi.
But they were released on January 6 leaving two others still missing.
What followed was the suspension of earlier orders requiring the attendance of the IG over the same.
On Monday, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) strongly condemned the recent surge of abductions and called on the state to put an end to "the heinous trend which is a gross violation of fundamental rights and freedoms".
The commission told the court that Billy Mwangi and five others were abducted by armed masked men and moved to different locations during their captivity.
"Some of the petitioner’s hairs was shaved, stripped naked and tortured under the hands of their abductors," said Advocate Lynette Mwachire.
The court heard that when they were released, they were given a transport fee ranging between Sh2,000 to Sh3500.
"Prior to their release, the petitioners were warned not to speak about their ordeal to any natural or legal entity, failure to which they would be recaptured," read an affidavit sworn by the commission in court.
The advocate in closing said they believe the state is responsible for the abductions relating to Billy Mwangi and others and should be held accountable for the same.
