How many people were killed during Saba Saba?
So many people were pronounced dead, and the KNCHR reported at least 10 deaths, while about 30 people suffered injuries during the Saba Saba protests.
The commission also flagged widespread police misconduct, which included masked officers in unmarked cars despite a court order against such tactics.
Additionally, there were hooded gangs armed with crude weapons who reportedly roamed several towns, sometimes in the company of police, adding to the chaos.
Road closures and police barricades left many stranded and movement paralysed, even as civil servants were ordered to report to work.
