One person was shot dead and two were wounded after running battles erupted between locals and police in a Nairobi informal settlement on Tuesday, AFP journalists saw, after the alleged abduction of two activists by security forces.
The Kenyan capital was shut down last week by a massive police deployment after campaigners declared a day of remembrance for protesters killed by security forces in previous demonstrations.
While June 25 passed without significant unrest due to the heavy police deployment, several activists were arrested and some disappeared for days.
