Kenyan Protests Against Femicide Met with Tear Gas by Police
TL;DR Summary
Kenyan police used teargas and arrested at least three people during protests against femicide in Nairobi, where hundreds of mostly women marched to demand action against gender-based violence. The protests, which also occurred in Mombasa and Lodwar, were peaceful, and the police's intervention remains unexplained. Among those detained was Amnesty International Kenya's executive director. The protests aimed to raise awareness and pressure the government to implement stricter laws to combat femicide, as at least 97 women were killed in such incidents between August and October.
