Police officers were forced to intervene as students from St George's Girls' High School in Nairobi went on strike over rampant corporal punishment at the school.
In video clips obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, the students of the school, which is located near the State House, were seen marching under the moonlight, with some even dressed in pyjamas, as they called out against the practice. "Wanatuchapanga (they cane us)," they were heard repeatedly shouting as they marched on the streets. "Why are they beating us for no reason?" another one mused, adding, "We want justice!"

Photo Newsblaze Unconfirmed reports indicate that the riot was prompted by reports that one student had been assaulted by a teacher for going outside to view the "blood moon" that appeared last night.
