Jailed Street Children in Excrement Protest

NAIROBI (Reuters) - More than 100 jailed Kenyan street children smeared themselves and their Nairobi cells with feces in a protest Wednesday, leading police to call in firefighters to hose them down.



The homeless boys had been jailed at the central police station for several weeks, awaiting transfer to government-sponsored homes.

But their frustration boiled over Wednesday and the 113 in the jail ran riot, attempting to escape and then demanding to be released or charged, police said.

"They smeared themselves with sh-t, smeared everywhere with sh-t and damaged doors trying to escape," said central police station boss Julius Ndegwa.
