Fifteen police officers have been charged with tear gassing and beating a family in their home while enforcing a Covid-19 curfew, a government-run police monitor said on Thursday.

The 15 police and six county enforcement officers will stand trial for assaulting the family in Busia during the early days of a strict coronavirus curfew imposed last March.
