Photos: Kenyan school children tear-gased for protesting against a developer who 'grabbed' their playground

Pupils of Langata primary school in Kenya were this morning tear-gassed by Kenya Police following their protest against a certain land developer who they say 'stole' part of their school's land which is their playground. The land developer wants to turn it into private property.

According to reports from Kenya, the school authority had written to the government asking for help to stop their land from being taken over by the developer but their letters were not attended to. Seeing that their teachers were helpless, the school children decided to hold a protest in front of their school this morning.
 
They however got more than they bargained for as the police tear gassed them, which caused a stampede. Five of the children have been rushed to the hospital at the moment. More pics after the cut

Awwwww! They are too young to protest, I hope nothing happens to those being rushed to the hospital. The school authority should have done something rather than the kids protesting #onelovefromsnow#

these are pupils now, I believe the term is used for younger people, so i dont think they are harmful. Africans(govt and Money miss roads) need be careful and curbed. This is sheer miss use of power and influence.

Government have to do something concerning this ..... kids have right to protest it is their playground to cry it out loud. Hope they make provision for another for the kids using tear gas on kids is absolutely wrong. The developer have to pause n ponder if these were his kids how will he feel???? by dobis112@gmail.com

Only in Nigeria/Africa such things can happen. Here in the US, people would have sued the developer and would have also protested against police violence. Mtcheww (smh).

Africans! So sad! Give them gun and they will shoot one another

Unknown said...

it was wrong for the police to teargas children nevertheless it was wrong to involve them in the demonstration since our constitution prohibits that as we clamour for action to be taken against the police so should we agitate for the same towards the school authority!!!
