The Human Rights Watch has called on the Kenya government to conduct investigations into the post-election protests.
During the protests at least 12 people killed and 100 others injured.
The group has alleged that the police used excessive force.
“The brutal crackdown on protesters and residents in the western counties, part of a pattern of violence and repression in opposition strongholds, undermined the national elections,” said Otsieno Namwaya, Africa Researcher at the Human Rights Watch
“People have a right to protest peacefully, and Kenyan authorities should urgently put a stop to police abuse and hold those responsible to account.”
