Last week, demonstrations against the government were held around Kenya. They were held on the anniversary of extensive protests against mismanagement and harsh economic conditions when about 60 people were killed.
The demonstrations began peacefully, but turned into pure street fights between demonstrators and police. The police used, among other things, tear gas and rubber bullets. According to Kenya's National Commission for Human Rights (KNCHR), 19 people were killed and over 530 injured.
The majority of those arrested have been formally charged with, among other things, murder, terrorism, rape, gang rape, arson, burglary and possession of illegal firearms, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
