The Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition has suspended the anti-government protests that were scheduled to take place across the country on Wednesday this week.

In a statement issued Monday evening, the coalition said instead of taking to the streets, they will hold "solidarity parades and vigil for victims of police brutality in various locations in all parts of the country."

The coalition called on its supporters to come out and light candles and lay flowers for the victims of police brutality during previous demos.

Azimio has revealed that 50 deaths have been reported with hundreds of others injured and admitted in hospitals with grave injuries.

"Azimio has made the decision that on Wednesday, rather than go to the streets for a peaceful demonstration as earlier announced, we will hold solidarity parades and vigil for victims of police brutality in various locations in all parts of the country," reads the statement.

"We are calling Kenyans to come out and light candles and lay flowers in remembrance of and respect for the victims. During the vigils, candle lighting and laying of flowers, we encourage Kenyans to say prayers and read out the names of the victims of police brutality. We shall provide the list of the victims in time for the exercise."

Azimio has called on religious leaders to dedicate Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for prayers in remembrance of the victims of police brutality during the past peaceful demonstrations.

"We ask Kenyans to pray also that the International Criminal Court takes up the matter based on an expanded list of perpetrators that we intend to furnish with the court with in due course," added Azimio.
