Last week, we published the latest investigation by @Emythat. Uncovering how the use of a police weapon led to the injury of a Kenyan journalist. Dive into the full story here: bellingcat.com/news/2024/08/…
New analysis by Bellingcat of a crowd control weapon being fired at a journalist covering protests in Kenya, suggests that police failed to follow their own policies, shooting without warning at close range towards journalists and civilians. bellingcat.com/news/2024/08/…

Catherine Wanjeri Kariuki was covering anti-government protests when she got shot by police forces. Three pellets were extracted from her left thigh following a surgery. @Bellingcat, we took a look at what transpired seconds before & around the shooting.
