Kenyan police on Tuesday fired teargas and arrested activists gathering for a march against perceived government injustice that has been given extra impetus this year by rights groups’ allegations of police brutality during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Activists said protesters from several areas had planned to march from their homes to the centre of the capital Nairobi, but many were dispersed or arrested before reaching there. Samuel Kiriro said six of his colleagues from the rights group, the Ghetto Foundation, in the Mathare slum had been detained.
For those who made it into the city centre, police fired more teargas and made further arrests, a Reuters witness said.
