Blood Parliament - BBC Africa Eye Documentary

On June 25th 2024, blood was spilt at Kenya’s parliament. That day, thousands of protestors headed there to stop the 2024 finance bill being passed into law. En-route they were met with tear gas, truncheons, and even gunfire. When they got there, and stormed the legislature, some of that gunfire turned lethal. At least three people were killed: students, shopkeepers, and Sunday school teachers. Since then, no one has been held to account for their deaths. Now, using open-source intelligence (OSINT) and forensic techniques, #BBCAfricaEye can expose the men who spilled blood on the grounds of Kenya’s parliament.
