A police officer in Kenya has been arrested after shooting an unarmed civilian during protests regarding the death of blogger Albert Ojwang in police custody. Eyewitness footage captured the violent incident, where two officers were seen assaulting the victim before one fired a shotgun. Protests erupted as protesters demanded accountability for Ojwang's death and an end to police brutality, while so-called 'goons' attacked demonstrators with whips and clubs. Amnesty International condemned the police's inaction, highlighting their alleged complicity in the violence against citizens advocating for their rights.
"The goons attacked us. They cornered us and beat us with whips and the police were just watching them do it," Hanifa Adan, a protest leader, stated.
"Police, shame on you, stop siding with the goons, side with the citizens who pay your salary through our taxes," a protester expressed.
