The BBC said Monday that Kenyan government pressure led to the cancellation of a Nairobi screening of a documentary from the British broadcaster identifying security officers suspected of shooting protesters dead.
Kenya's clampdown last year on youth-led protests against tax increases left more than 60 people dead, according to rights groups, while dozens were abducted by security forces in the following months.
BBC Africa Eye on Monday aired an exposé documenting the killing of three protesters outside Kenya's parliament on June 25, 2024, when youthful demonstrators breached the building in an attempt to stop lawmakers from approving the proposed tax hikes.
Using open-source data and user-generated content from the day of the protests, "Blood Parliament" identified uniformed security officers who opened fire, killing three unarmed protesters.
