A man suspected of being a police spy was beaten to death at a Nairobi rally and hundreds of opposition supporters took to the streets to press demands for reform. Some 1,000 activists turned up for the rally to hear speakers demand reforms from President Daniel arap Moi before elections due this year. A man identified as Gilbert Ahanya Simiyu was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
