NAIROBI, June 9 (Reuters) - A protester was shot in central Kenya on Tuesday, witnesses said, during a demonstration against a quarantine centre for Americans exposed to Ebola that the U.S. has raced to build despite Kenyan court orders barring further work.
Two Reuters reporters, who did not witness the shooting themselves, said the body of the man lay motionless with a large wound to the head in the back of a police van.
A police spokesperson said he did not have information about the incident.
