Students from St George's Girls' High School in Nairobi staged night protests against rampant corporal punishment, prompting police intervention. Unconfirmed reports suggest the riot was sparked by a student being assaulted for viewing the "blood moon."

• Over one hundred students participated in the protest, some dressed in pajamas, marching and shouting against caning.
• The police were called to the scene to quell the unrest, with officers seen physically pushing students.
• Parents of students also arrived at the school premises as the strike continued into the night. Corporal punishment has been banned in Kenya since 2001 and reinforced by the 2010 Constitution and Children Act of 2022.
