Published: 7/9/2025

Kenya sees sharp rise in death toll from anti-government protests, with the number increasing to 31, as per the country's human rights commission. UN condemns police use of lethal force and killings during the protests, leading to over 100 injuries and 532 arrests in several cities, including Nairobi. The protests, sparked by blogger Albert Ojwang's death in custody, demand President William Ruto's resignation and justice for victims of police brutality, with calls for an independent investigation into the violence and property destruction.
