The male protester who was seen being brutally beaten by Kenyan riot police during a protest in Nairobi on Monday,
has died in hospital.
The unnamed man was pictured fleeing from a building as a policeman in riot gear first beat him with a wooden baton, before following him into the street, kicking him as he lay on the ground, before appearing to stamp on his head.
Shocking scenes of violence erupted on Monday as police fired tear gas to break up demonstrations urging electoral reforms ahead of the general elections next year.
Police were caught on camera beating some protesters who had gathered outside the offices of Kenya’s electoral commission in the capital Nairobi.
In the horrifying scenes that ensued, officers then chased them through downtown streets and alleyways.
