Kenya is currently experiencing widespread protests in response to proposed tax increases, with the situation escalating during Tuesday's 'total shutdown' event, resulting in violent clashes. The protests led to the tragic deaths of at least five individuals, with around 31 others sustaining injuries as a result of Kenyan police firing live ammunition at demonstrators in the capital city of Nairobi.
Reports have emerged of Kenyan police engaging in violent acts, including beating and arresting paramedics who were providing assistance to injured protesters. The use of excessive force by law enforcement has raised concerns about human rights violations and the need for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing unrest.
