Nepal - How police shot at protesters with ‘military-grade ammunition’
‚The Nepalese police used lethal weapons against protesters gathered on September 8 to protest government corruption. At least 19 people were killed and more than 300 were wounded on that day, according to an official count. Our Observers describe unprecedented violence.‘
the Kenyan government, under William Ruto, continues its long held policy of using the law (as it was always designed to) against citizens
the state is using the Terrorism Act to falsely accuse protestors and activists like Boniface Mwangi of acts of terrorism
the 'law' has never and will never be for the people

Cases in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania raise fear of regional trend
Cases of repression in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have fuelled concerns about possible collaboration.Basillioh Rukanga (BBC News)
on my way back from the protest, I passed a group of government sympathizers.
one of them said, "alafu tuskie ati justice for nani ama nani.." with a smile on their face.
other Kenyans took up being the oppressor by robbing and assaulting protesters and also using gender-based violence on women.
it all reminded me of this..
