Demonstrators marched on the streets of Nairobi yesterday to protest at the mistreatment of a woman who was allegedly banned from breastfeeding her baby in a restaurant.

The protesters accused Olive Restaurant, located on Accra Road, of infringing on the rights of children to basic food, saying the action was not only despicable, but inhuman.
