Local media and human rights activists say more than 10 people were killed between November 18 and November 20, while international media reports at least 24 people killed by police since November 17. In October, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International documented at least 67 killings, most by gunshot, during protests by opposition supporters after the electoral commission declared Uhuru Kenyatta the winner of the August 8 election.
