Kenya: 13 killed, 'deeply concerned' UN
Al-Jazeera, head of the Kenya Medical Association, said at least 13 people were killed in Tuesday's protests, with 12 in Nairobi.
He also said two government hospitals in Nairobi have been affected by the violence. Parliament members have seized ambulances to resign from Parliament, causing protesters to attack some ambulances.
In this regard, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed "deep concern" over violence and 'arbitrary arrests'. His spokesman said the United Nations Secretary-General is 'extremely saddened' by reports of deaths and injuries in the protests.
Stephen Dujarric told journalists, "We are also concerned about the incidents of arbitrary arrests."
He said it is very important to ensure respect for human rights in order to protest peacefully.
Dujarric also said authorities must ensure that all incidents of deaths by security forces are fully investigated.
Guterres urged Kenya's police, authorities and security forces to show restraint and work peacefully with protesters.
Meanwhile, amid protests against controversial economic bills passed in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, widespread violence erupted on Tuesday involving several thousand people. They then tried to set fire to the parliament building.
In addition to Nairobi, incidents of protest and clashes have occurred in several other cities of the country
