ABC News · United States · Kenya police teargas and arrest hundreds on second anniversary of 2024 protest killings
Reports Kenyan police seized hundreds of demonstrators and deployed teargas and shots-in-the-air near the Parliament precinct as victims' families and protest veterans gathered; notes that President Ruto's Sh2bn ($15.5m) fund for victims is contested by civil society, which says compensation without accountability fails the standard the families set.
“Police in Kenya detained hundreds of people and fired teargas as families of those killed in anti-government protests two years ago marched to Parliament to demand compensation and justice.”
