Fifty-six people were hospitalised, most of them with bullet wounds, after participating in rallies in Kenya on Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of deadly protests against a tax bill, a hospital source told Reuters.
Thousands of Kenyans took to the streets to commemorate last year’s demonstrations, in which more than 60 people died, with police firing tear gas and water cannon to disperse them in the capital Nairobi, according to local media and a Reuters witness.
