NAIROBI (Reuters) -Kenyan police detained several people on Thursday who attempted to present a petition to the president's office and lay flowers to honour those killed a month ago on the most violent day of anti-government protests, protesters said. Among those detained were Boniface Mwangi, a prominent activist involved in the protests, they said. One of the protesters, Hanifa Adan, said on X that some of the parents of people killed in the June 25 protest had been detained on Thursday.

NAIROBI (Reuters) -Riot police used tear gas to disperse protesters in Kenya's capital Nairobi on Tuesday and demonstrations took place in other towns, after young activists called for more protests following a week of clashes in which dozens died. Reuters journalists saw clouds of tear gas on a main road through central Nairobi before midday, where riot police in helmets had been present since early morning.
