 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Police are behind dozens of deaths in Kenya's post-election turmoil, opening fire on both looters and opposition protesters under an unofficial "shoot to kill" policy, a leading human rights group said Sunday.
Human Rights Watch called on Kenya's government to lift its ban on demonstrations and order police not to shoot at protesters. The appeal came three days before the opposition planned nationwide protests that police have warned will be stopped.
"Kenyan police in several cities have used live ammunition to disperse protesters and disperse looters, killing and wounding dozens," the New York-based group said.
