Families of Kenyan protesters killed in 2024's mass protests on Friday urged the police and politicians to allow a peaceful march in memory of the dead.
The East African nation has seen violent clashes between protesters, the police and armed thugs known as "goons" in the run-up to the one-year anniversary of the youth-led demonstrations.
Those rallies peaked on June 25 when protesters, angry over proposed tax rises and corruption, stormed parliament and were met with live fire from security forces.
Rights groups say at least 60 people were killed across the weeks of protests in June and July, with scores more illegally detained in the aftermath, many of them still missing.
