Press statement: We remind the @CA_Kenya, that the media acts as a watchdog, documenting the actions of both protesters and law enforcement. Live broadcasts can deter excessive force and human rights violations by ensuring that actions are witnessed and recorded. #FreeToProtest
@ReformsGroup, @LawSocietyofKe and @KenyaMedics_KMA joint statement.
The directive by the @CA_Kenya to halt live protest coverage violates Article 33(2). Broadcasting peaceful protests does not amount to propaganda for war or incitement to violence. #FreeToProtest
IMLU strongly urges @NPSOfficial_KE to use non-violent methods to manage and de-escalate situations and avoid the use of unnecessary force on #Justice4OurMashujaa protesters. For emergency response, call us toll-free on 0800 721 401. #SiriNiNumbers #FreeToProtest
Roadblocks and intimidation are not normal, they violate constitutional rights. Article 37 guarantees the right to peacefully assemble and protest, while Article 39 protects freedom of movement. Kenyans must be #FreeToProtest, without violence or fear. #June25th
Wangechi Kahuria – Exec, Dir. IMLU: The mere presence of roadblocks is not a normal occurrence. It is not fair to say that the lockdown does not interfere with the normal running of the day…Today people should be allowed to go mourn and go back home, there should be no violence #CitizenDayBreak @OBurrows
Heading to the #June25th protest? Article 37 of the Constitution of Kenya guarantees your right to assemble, demonstrate, and picket, peacefully.
Torture, excessive force and unlawful arrests are illegal.

Thank you to everyone who graced the launch of the #SilencedButUnbowed report. It was an honour to have IMLU founder, Ling Kituyi, in attendance. Her visionary leadership laid the foundation for the pursuit of a society free from torture. #FreeToProtest
Police violence has become embedded in the architecture of public order management. IMLU's #SilencedButUnbowed report reveals a chilling consistency in police brutality during political events across multiple administrations. #FreeToProtest https://t.co/faF55NSZ9u
Justice for Gen Z protesters:
IMLU wants probe into Gen Z killings expedited. IMLU says impunity fueled by lack of accountability. IMLU says 63 people were killed in the protests
IMLU: Police have killed without accountability
#CitizenMondayReport @TrevorOmbija
The #SilencedButUnbowed report paints a grim picture of systemic police brutality against Gen Z protestors. #FreeToProtest.
IMLU justice demands:
IMLU wants probe into Gen Z killings expedited. IMLU says 63 people were killed in the protests
#CitizenBriefs @jimkario
The youth wanted to be heard. They were silenced with bullets. 63 dead. 63 abducted. 26 still missing.
One year later, no justice, no convictions.
#SilencedButUnbowed tells the story the state wants forgotten. #FreeToProtest
