Kenyans protest in Nairobi for end to abductions targeting government critics

"Kenyan protesters took to the streets of Nairobi on Monday, calling for an end to abductions targeting government critics.

Police threw tear gas at demonstrators in a bid to disperse the crowd; opposition politician Senator Okiya Omtatah and several others were arrested.
Among the hundreds who had taken to the streets of Nairobi were relatives of those who have disappeared.
The Kenyan National Commission on Human rights has voiced concerns over a growing number of government critics who are thought to have been abducted.
According to the commission, 82 people have been abducted since demonstrations against the government in June.
Rights groups accuse Kenya’s police force of being responsible; police have denied the allegations, and insist that they are looking into the disappearances." AN
