A man has been killed during clashes between Kenyan police and hundreds of opposition protestors in Kenya.
Opposition supporters were defying a ban on rallies against President Mwai Kibaki's disputed re-election.
In the western opposition stronghold of Kisumu and the coastal city Mombasa, youths began gathering in the morning, some burning tyres and erecting roadblocks.
Police in Kisumu dispersed a 1,000-strong crowd with tear gas, batons and by firing bullets in the air.
One man was shot dead and another badly hurt, according to reports.
In Nairobi, police chased protesters through the central business district, firing tear gas and live rounds in the air.
The gas seeped into nearby office buildings.
Many Kenyans and expatriates in the capital stayed at home, shopkeepers nailed up windows and traffic was thin.
More than 600 people have died and 250,000 have been left homeless in the turmoil since Mr Kibaki was sworn in after a 27 December vote that Opposition Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga says was rigged.
