Kenyan police are coming under fire for their brutal response to an opposition protest Monday after photos and video of police beating protesters sparked outrage.
Three Mondays in a row, Kenya’s main opposition coalition has demonstrated at the electoral commission in Nairobi, calling for it to be disbanded before next year’s polls.
Each time, riot police dispersed protesters with tear gas and water cannons.  But this week, police kicked and clubbed protesters as they ran, according to photos and videos posted online.
