Thousands of Kenyans came to the streets to mark last year’s demonstrations, in which more than 60 people were killed, and the police fired tear gas and used water cannons to dispel them in the capital of Nairobi, towards local media and eyewitnesses.
Some protesters clashed with the police, and the Kenyan National Commission for Human Rights, funded by the Government, said eight deaths were reported across the country, all “allegedly from gunshot wounds.
The statement states that there are protesters, police officers and journalists among the injured people.
Human Rights Organization did not specify who shot the victims, but she pointed out the streets of great police force and that “has allegations of excessive use of force, including rubber bullets, combat ammunition, and resulting in numerous injuries.”
The official of the Kenyhyta’s main national hospital in Nairobi said that the institution received more dozens of wounded people.
