Kenyan police accused of covering up protesters' deaths, mislabeling them as accidents.

Kenyan police are accused of covering up deaths of anti-government protesters by mischaracterizing them as accidents in morgue logs. Reuters reviewed autopsy reports that showed discrepancies with police records; for example, 19-year-old Charles Owino's death from a gunshot was recorded as a road accident. Rights groups allege dozens of police killings, abductions, and detentions, with 82 cases of enforced disappearances reported. The National Police Service and government officials did not respond to questions about these claims.
