“The shameful, cowardly, brutal actions of the military and police – who have been filmed shooting at protesters as they flee, and who have not even spared young children – must be halted immediately” said Michelle Bachelet, the UN high commissioner for human rights, and Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the UN special adviser on the prevention of genocide.

“We must ensure accountability for past crimes and deter the most serious international crimes from being committed.”
