The death issue climbs to 31

The number of people killed in anti -government protests on Monday in Kenya has increased to 31, said the human rights committee in the country, causing public interruption and calling for justice.

The State Commission earlier said that 11 people diedS

More than 100 people were injured and about 532 arrested in protests affected by the capital Nairobi and other major cities, said the National Human Rights Committee in Kenya (KNCHR).

The UN said he was deeply disturbed by the killings and criticized the Kenyan police to use “deadly ammunition” against protesters.

Kenya police are still saying that 11 people were killed.

There is increasing tension in the country after the death of blogger Albert Owang in the police arrest last month led people to the street, a year after young protesters stormed parliament, angry with a wave of tax promotions.

The protests on Monday were intended to celebrate the ten-year struggle for democracy in Kenya, but they are rapidly escalating in deadly clashes in 17 of the country’s 47 counties, local media reported.

Many of those who demonstrated the chanting “Ruto should go” and “fema”, which means “one mandate”, a popular rally that required President William Ruto to leave office.

In Statement issued At the end of Tuesday, KCHR said the sharp rise in the death is “deeply alarming”.

“KCHR strongly condemns all human rights violations and calls for accountability from all responsible countries, including the police, civilians and all other stakeholders,” added.

The Commission also documents a broad looting and destruction of both public and privately owned by unidentified persons.

Among the killed was a 12-year-old student who was hit by a stray bullet while he was home in Kiabbu, on the outskirts of the capital, local media reported.

“Much is about reports that these recent incidents have come only two weeks after reporting that more than 15 protesters have been killed and many other injured in Nairobi and other parts of Kenya on June 25,” said Rabbi Slapani, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

“Deadly ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons have been used,” added shames.

At least two hospitals were damaged after unidentified attackers attacked the facilities and stole medical equipment and harassed the staff, Reuters News reported.

The religious and rights of the groups demanded a quick and independent investigation into the killings, the destruction of property and arbitrary arrests.

However, Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomeni praised the police for the content of the protests that he believes have penetrated criminals.

Opposition leaders on Tuesday have accused the government of unfolding unmarked police vehicles for transporting armed bands to perceive opposition fortresses during the protests.

They called for a national boycott of all enterprises related to the President Ruto’s administration, accusing its government of deploying the state -sponsored violence and out -of -court killings of the Kenyans.

“This regime is hostile. It cannot be reasoned. We must resist. We will not rest. We will not withdraw. We will not surrender,” the opposition said in a joint statement.

Kenya’s chief judge Martha Coom warned the country against the increasing protest, saying they were at risking the democratic tissue of the nation.

The demonstrations on Monday were organized mainly by the so-called Gen-Z young people, requiring good governance, greater accountability and justice for the victims of police brutality, continuing the wave of anti-government protests last year.

On June 25, at least 19 people were killed and thousands of businesses were plundered and destroyed on a day of national protests, which were held in honor of the killed in last year’s protests to combat tax.

More than 140 people have been killed since 2023 in protests, according to Star.
