Kenyan police detained several people on Thursday who attempted to present a petition to the president's office and lay flowers to honour those killed a month ago on the most violent day of anti-government protests, protesters said.

Among those detained were Boniface Mwangi (pictured being thrown into a police truck), a prominent activist involved in the protests, they said.

One of the protesters, Hanifa Adan, said on X that some of the parents of people killed in the June 25 protest had been detained on Thursday.

Videos posted on social media by activists showed the marchers just before they were detained, carrying white crosses stained with red and chanting: "We are peaceful!"

They had been trying to present a petition to demand justice for those who were killed in the protests.

More than 50 people have been killed since mid-June, when protesters began taking to the streets to oppose tax increases proposed by President William Ruto, according to the government-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR).

KNCHR has also said that nearly 700 people have been arbitrarily detained and 59 have been abducted or are missing in connection with the protests.
