Langata primary school pupils in Kenya were tear-gassed today, Jan. 19th by Kenya Police because they protested against a certain land developer who they say 'stole' part of their school's Playground to convert it into private property.
According to reports, the school authority had written to the government asking for help to stop their land from being taken over by the developer but their letters were not attended to. Seeing that their teachers were helpless, the school children decided to hold a protest in front of their school this morning. However, instead of a peaceful response from the police, they rather tear gassed the helpless children, causing a stampede as each flee to safety, leaving five children hospitalized.
