Dozens killed by Kenyan police: Humanitarian group

Kenyan police have killed and wounded dozens of protesters, an international human rights group said today, warning that the opposition call for mass rallies this week raises concerns of new clashes that could lead to more deaths and injuries.

Human Rights Watch, based in Washington, DC, said observers and even officers have described the police response to demonstrations in Kenya’s deadly dispute over presidential election results as an unofficial “shoot to kill” policy.
