At least 11 people died and 567 were arrested during anti-government protests in Kenya, marking the 35th anniversary of the Saba Saba protests. Police reported using force to quell demonstrations that spread across 17 counties, with clashes, roadblocks, and the burning of buildings. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights accused police of excessive force and abductions. Opposition leader Raila Odinga, whose planned appearance was cancelled due to roadblocks, criticized the police and called for national dialogue.
