Kenyans up in arms against New York Time after it publishes horrid photos of people killed by attackers at Ducit hotel 

Authorities have cautioned Kenyans and the media against posting and publishing gory photos and videos from the Ducit D2 hotel attack.

The New York Times however published some disturbing photos of people who were killed at the Thai-owned hotel in Nairobi.

The horrid photo, on New York Times article titled ‘Shabab Claim Responsibility for Deadly Assault on Nairobi Hotel-Office Complex’, shows bodies of at least three people inside the Secret Garden Café.

Angry reactions

Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) used the hashtag #SomeoneTellNYtimes to fire at The New York Times for publishing the horrid photo on their article.

New York Times writer of the article Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura was forced to respond after Kenyans rebuked the article for being insensitive.

This is The New York Times's position on why we published the photos that we did. I've deleted my earlier tweets that did not explain the reasoning behind our decision. https://t.co/kZBnaJLvqo
