Sixteen killed, hundreds injured in antigovernment Kenyan protests

At least 16 people have been killed during nationwide rallies against police brutality and government corruption, according to the human rights group Amnesty Kenya.

Another 400 people were injured Wednesday, a statement from the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights said, including protesters, police and journalists. The casualties included people hit by live fire and others who were wounded by rubber bullets, or were beaten, and were primarily in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
