NAirobi, 26 Jun. (askanews) – The day after protests in Kenya caused at least 16 deaths, according to Amnesty International, mourning families ask for justice. In front of the morgue in Nairobi it is a coming and going of cars, between the hugs and tears of the family.
“I don’t know what to say, I’m speechless. I want justice for him because it was all for me,” says a woman, Winfred Mwangi, whose husband died during the protests, remained with two young children.
An aunt, Fatuma OPango, whose teenage grandson was killed during the protest, asks for justice for the son of his brother, and tells: “I was sent to me a photo because he was running a rumor that two boys had been killed in Rongai, and that’s how I arrived here at the municipal morgue, where I showed the security guards the photo of Ian OPANGO (the nephew, ed.). At the morgue.
The marches of June 25 – organized to remember the anniversary of the mega protest against the increase in taxes a year ago, culminated in the assault on Parliament – ended with dozens of people killed by the security forces.
“We condemn this excessive use of force – denounces Hussein Khalid, executive director of Vocal Africa – We believe that the police could have shown moderation. It was not necessary to kill so many kenioti across the country, and this is the problem in which we are. If you protest against the killings made by the police, they kill even more. So we believe that there is still a long way to do and ask for justice for all those Killed, “he concluded.
