Amnesty International has condemned the arrest and reported use of force against peaceful protesters demonstrating over concerns about the future of Nairobi National Park.
In a statement issued on June 8 in Nairobi, the rights group said nine protesters were arrested, including former Chief Justice David Maraga, who was bundled into a police vehicle shortly after joining demonstrators near the park.
Others arrested included environmental defenders, students, and human rights activists advocating for the protection of Nairobi National Park, amid opposition to the proposed development of a car park within the protected area.
