Kenya Protests Turn DEADLY:At Least 16 Killed, 400+ Injured As Police Clash With Youth Demonstrators

At least 16 people have been killed and over 400 injured during mass protests across Kenya, as demonstrators took to the streets to denounce police brutality, corruption, and the death of activist Albert Ojwang. The protests, led by youth and spanning 23 counties, saw intense clashes with riot police firing tear gas and live bullets. Shocking videos show protesters pleading with reporters for help. The government briefly attempted to censor live coverage, but the High Court overturned the directive. Human rights groups have condemned the excessive force used on peaceful demonstrators. #KenyaProtests #PoliceBrutality #RutoMustGo #AlbertOjwang #KenyaUnrest #JusticeForOjwang#StopPoliceViolence #NairobiProtests #KenyaYouth #FreedomOfSpeech #AfricaProtests #TearGasInNairobi#HumanRightsViolations #CNNKenya #AmnestyKenya #NoToCorruption #RazorWireBlockade #LiveCoverageBan#ProtestDeaths #KenyaRising
