Kenya Muslims protest, allege
Several thousand Muslims have taken to the streets of Nairobi after prayers to accuse Kenyan police of discriminatory arrests and harassment.
The demonstrators have marched from Nairobi's main mosque to police headquarters, chanting and waving slogans such as "Stop harassing Muslims" and "We don't want anti-terror police".
The demonstration was rowdy but non-violent, and riot police used tear gas at one stage.
The Kenyan Government has been pushing an anti-terrorism law but has met resistance from the country's Muslim community, which complains it is being targeted.
Kenyan Muslims feel they have been unfairly targeted in the fight against terrorism, particularly since attacks in 1998 and 2002 that were blamed on Al Qaeda-linked extremists.
Demonstrators said Friday's rally was fuelled by two recent cases: the arrest of a Muslim man outside the Israeli Embassy, and the arrest of a man whose car was implicated in a recent shoot-out with police.
Local media have linked that shoot-out with a possible plot to kill Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi, who was visiting Nairobi this week.
"We came to complain to the Government and specifically to the police commission against the anti-terror police unit," 25-year-old demonstrator Halimo Daro said.
"This unit is terrorising Muslims. It is unconstitutional."
Deputy police commissioner Lawrence Mwadime told the crowd to go home, saying: "We have taken your memorandum, I will forward it to my seniors."
"We do not harass Muslims," he later told reporters.
He declined to comment further.
