Journalists Stage Countrywide Protests Against Police Brutality
We must put an end to the threats against journalists.
Harassment, censorship, and physical attacks must stop immediately.

No journalist should ever be killed or injured in the line of duty. They are the voice of the people, and their safety is paramount.

To ensure our voices were heard, we staged protests across the nation from Nairobi, to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nyeri and Uasin Gishu. The footage can be found below:
