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.
