Hundreds of Kenyans took to the streets in Nairobi to protest peacefully against police brutality and extradition killings.
Some of the placards showed the names of family members, friends, and neighbors from the community who have been killed by the police during the last few years.
The protest was also organized to show solidarity with movements worldwide to protest against police brutality.
There have been worldwide protests against police brutality following the murder of an unarmed and handcuffed George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin had his knee on George’s neck for almost nine minutes while George cried out, “I can’t breathe”. According to reports from Kenya,
“At least 15 people have been killed by police, and 31 people injured” since a dusk-till-dawn curfew was enforced in March to mitigate the spread of Covid-19."
