Kenya police tear-gas children in playground protest
Kenyan police fired tear gas at children as young as eight protesting on Monday against the seizure of their school playground by a property developer.
Around 100 primary school children and a small group of activists pushed over a newly built wall that separated playing fields and the school buildings, close to the capital Nairobi's main domestic airport.
The majority of the children were aged between eight and 13.
Around 40 armed police accompanied by dogs dispersed the protesters by firing tear gas canisters, an AFP photographer at the scene said. (AFP)
