UN Criticizes Lethal Force in Kenya That Killed 31 People

The United Nations denounced the use of lethal force in clashes between Kenyan police and protesters, which killed at least 31 people, saying those responsible must be held to account.

“We are deeply troubled by the killings” as police and other security forces responded to violent protests, the UN said in emailed statement. “Lethal ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons were used.”
