 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

 Kenyan police disperse Saba Saba anniversary demonstrators


Kenyan police have dispersed protesters marking the 35th anniversary of pro-democracy rallies in the capital Nairobi on Monday, Reuters reported.


Activists rally every year on July 7 to mark the date in 1990 when opponents of then-president Daniel Arap Moi launched a bid to transform the country into a multiparty democracy.


The protest is called "Saba Saba" - "seven seven" in Kiswahili - because of the date. Authorities have ramped up police deployments in Nairobi since youth-led protests in June 2024 that initially focused on tax hikes but expanded to cover other national issues, including better governance.


Witnesses say police used tear gas and water cannon on Monday to disperse crowds along a key artery in Nairobi, as hundreds of demonstrators advanced, with some blowing whistles while they marched.


Police had earlier blocked major roads leading into Nairobi and they heavily restricted vehicle traffic within the city, leaving streets deserted but for the demonstrators who turned up on foot.


Government vows action


Most schools and at least one shopping mall were shut in anticipation of possible trouble. "We are not ready to go back (home) because who will fight for our rights then? We will be here till evening," Francis Waswa, a construction worker who joined the march, told Reuters news agency.


Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen, who last month described the protests as "terrorism disguised as dissent", said on his X account on Sunday that the government was committed to protecting life and property.


"Our security agencies are on high alert to deal decisively with criminals and other elements of ill intent who may seek to infiltrate peaceful processions to cause havoc, mayhem, or destruction of property," he said.


This comes after the death of Albert Ojwang, a teacher and blogger, in police custody in June sparked protests.


The government-funded Kenya National Commission on Human Rights reported 19 deaths nationwide during demonstrations on June 25.


Prosecutors approved murder charges against six people, including three police officers, over Ojwang's death. All six suspects pleaded not guilty.
