The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has expressed concern about serious human rights violations committed during today's Saba Saba anniversary protests, which included deadly violence, arbitrary arrests, and a heavy-handed police response throughout the country.
In a press statement issued Monday evening, KNCHR Vice Chairperson Dr. Raymond Nyeris confirmed that by 6:30 p.m., the Commission had documented ten deaths, twenty-nine injuries, two abductions, and thirty-seven arrests in seventeen counties.
The protests, held to commemorate the historic 1990 Saba Saba pro-democracy movement, brought normalcy to a near halt in some parts of the country.
