Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 43573, member: 636"] Law Society of Kenya leaders condemned police violence during June 17 protests across Nairobi's business district. Officers shot unarmed street vendor Boniface Mwangi Kariuki near Imenti House during demonstrations. Video footage showed the policeman firing at close range against the innocent hawker who avoided the protest activities. Medical staff rushed Kariuki to Kenyatta National Hospital for emergency treatment. LSK president Faith Odhiambo called the shooting a serious crime that breaks constitutional laws. Police forces responded to reform demands through increased brutality against peaceful citizens across the capital city. Armed gangs worked alongside law enforcement officers to attack innocent people and steal property from local businesses. Advocate Ken Ochieng witnessed police vehicles escorting criminal groups before they assaulted him on Koinange Street. The attackers carried weapons and targeted regular citizens rather than actual protesters during the violence. LSK accused officers of organizing these gang attacks to frighten the public and stop future demonstrations. Mombasa police arrested four human rights activists during peaceful protest activities across the coastal city. Francis Auma, Walid Sketty, Mugambi, and Batulie Swale faced charges for unlawful assembly and assault accusations. Officers violently arrested Batulie Swale after attacking her without justification during the demonstration. She posed no danger to anyone before police threw her into their patrol vehicle. LSK lawyers secured bail for all four activists and promised legal representation during court hearings. [/QUOTE]
