A placard, rose flower petals and a steel chain lay on the ground abandoned after riot police officers detained protesters demonstrating against a wave of unexplained abductions of government critics, along the Aga Khan walk in downtown Nairobi, Kenya December 30, 2024.
In 2015, Kenyan pupils, some as young as seven years old, were teargassed by police for protesting the grabbing of their school field by a senior figure in the Jubilee administration. Many experienced respiratory problems. Some fainted.
A local newspaper published a picture of an unconscious child in the arms of an older protester to an ambulance. In the picture, the child’s head and legs dangle over the arms of his rescuer.
