BBC identifies security forces who shot Kenya anti-tax protesters | BBC News

The members of Kenya’s security forces who shot dead anti-tax protesters at the country’s parliament in June have been identified by the BBC.

The BBC’s analysis of more than 5,000 images also shows that those killed there were unarmed and not posing a threat.

The East African nation’s constitution guarantees the right to peaceful protest, and the deaths caused a public outcry.

Despite a parliamentary committee ordering Kenya’s Independent Policing Oversight Authority to investigate the deaths on the streets of the capital, Nairobi – and make public its findings – no report regarding the killings at parliament has yet been issued and no-one has been held to account.
