Kenya opposition accuses police of killing over 100 people

Kenya opposition accuses police of killing over 100 people

Kenya

Kenya’s opposition accused the security forces on Saturday of killing more than 100 people, including 10 children, in a crackdown on post-election unrest.

The party did not offer any proof, and Reuters has only been able to confirm 11 deaths nationwide.

Speaking at a news conference, James Orengo, a top member of the NASA opposition coalition, said police had provoked the violence.

His colleague, Johnson Muthama, said NASA would not be cowed or relent under the pressure.

He called on their supporters to stay out of harm’s way.
