The male protester who was seen being brutally beaten by Kenyan riot police during a protest in Nairobi survived the ordeal, despite reports claiming he passed away in hospital. Boniface Manono, 36, was pictured fleeing from a building as a policeman in riot gear first beat him with a wooden baton, before following him into the street, kicking him as he lay on the ground, before appearing to stamp on his head.



Shocking scenes of violence erupted on Monday as police fired tear gas to break up demonstrations urging electoral reforms ahead of the general elections next year. Manono, who insists he wasn't actually protesting but was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, says he was recovering at his uncle's house when he was shocked to hear that he had 'died' on the radio, followed by a TV news report at lunch.
