Friday, June 28, 2024 - The High Court in Nairobi has prohibited police officers from using tear gas and water cannons against peaceful demonstrators.
The court also ordered police to
stop using live ammunition, rubber bullets, crude weapons and other draconian
measures against those demonstrating.
The High Court also directed the
officers manning demonstrators to stop deploying brute force or any form of
violence or committing any extrajudicial killings.
The High Court further ordered
police to stop unnecessary arrests, abductions, detentions, harassment,
intimidation, torture, and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment against
peaceful protesters.
The court issued the directives
following a petition filed by Saitabao Ole Kanchory, who sought the court's
intervention following the recent brutalities witnessed across the country
during the anti-Finance Bill 2024 demos organized by Gen Z
