Chaos in Kenya as violent protest erupts in Nairobi over blogger’s death; Police fire tear gas

Kenyan police fired tear gas at protesters in Nairobi on Tuesday, reigniting concerns over alleged extrajudicial killings by security forces. Protests erupted across Kenya over the death of 31-year-old blogger Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody under suspicious circumstances. Police initially claimed he had committed suicide, but an independent autopsy later indicated assault as the cause of death, prompting an apology from Kenya's police chief.
