Ten people died in protests in Kenya on Monday, the government-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights said, with 29 injured after scattered anti-government demonstrations broke out across the country.

At least 10 people were shot dead and 29 injured in Kenya as anti-government protests erupted after restarting early last month.

Kenya's police said 11 people had died, while 52 officers had been injured. It did not say who was responsible for the killings. "Preliminary reports indicate fatalities, injuries, damage to motor vehicles, and several incidents of looting," police said in a statement.
