“Kenyan police fired teargas at protesters in the capital Nairobi on Tuesday, a Reuters witness said, after the death in custody of a blogger cast a spotlight on alleged extrajudicial killings by security forces. Clashes also broke out in downtown Nairobi as unidentified motorcyclists beat up protesters, dispersing them, the Reuters witness said. Local broadcaster NTV showed video of the bikers shouting ‘No protests.’ Amnesty International’s Kenya chapter, in a post on X on Tuesday, referred to the presence of dozens of motorbikes, with two hooded passengers ‘whipping protesters and members of the public.’ Reuters could not immediately ascertain who the motorcyclists were.” (06/17/25)
