Amnesty International slams Kenyan police use of unlawful force

Amnesty International has condemned the Kenyan police for using excessive and unlawful force against civilians, particularly during protests and demonstrations. The human rights organization has documented numerous cases of police brutality, including beatings, shootings, and arbitrary arrests.

According to Amnesty, the police have used "excessive and disproportionate force" to disperse protests, often targeting peaceful demonstrators and bystanders. The organization has also reported cases of police officers using live ammunition, rubber bullets, and tear gas to disperse crowds, resulting in injuries and deaths.

Amnesty has called on the Kenyan government to take immediate action to address the issue of police brutality and to hold accountable those responsible for human rights violations. The organization has also urged the government to reform the police force and to ensure that officers are trained to use force in a manner that is proportionate to the threat posed.

The Kenyan government has faced criticism for its handling of protests and demonstrations, with many accusing the police of using excessive force to quell dissent. The government has denied allegations of police brutality, but Amnesty's findings have added to the growing concerns about the use of force by the police.
