Kenyan minister condemns protests as 'coup attempt'

Kipchumba Murkomen said the unrest was "terrorism disguised as dissent".

Kenya's interior minister has denied that the police used excessive force during Wednesday's protests in which at least 10 people were killed, describing them as "terrorism disguised as dissent" and an "unconstitutional attempt" to change the government. Rights group Amnesty International has put the death toll at 16, saying that all those who died had gunshot wounds. We speak to protestors and our correspondent on the ground.
