A demonstrator is arrested outside Parliament during Gen Z protests on June 25 /EZEKIEL AMINGAAn investigation by a global human rights lobby into the handling of the anti-government protests by security forces paints a horrific picture. Wanton arrests, killings and torture at the hands of police officers made demonstrators pay a heavy price in opposing the Finance Bill, 2024, the Human Rights Watch said. “The police acted outside of the law with lethal force that was disproportionate. In its probe, Human Rights Watch says it talked to journalists, protesters, Parliament staff and MPs who were either there on June 25, or viewed CCTV re cordings of events. About an hour before protesters stormed Parliament buildings, police shot at least six people dead along Parliament Road at the entrance to the Kenyatta Mausoleum and another two at the entrance to the Senate buildings, the lobby said.
