THREAD: The human cost of #SabaSaba2025 protests – Findings from the Police Reforms Working Group fact-finding mission. #ProtectTheProtest
1/ On July 7, 2025, Kenyans across 20+ counties took to the streets to defend democracy. Instead of being protected, they were met with bullets, arrests, and death. At least 38 lives lost and 500+ injured #ProtectTheProtest.
2/ The dead include 4 women and 2 children. In counties like Kiambu, Nairobi, and Kajiado, police and armed men shot at unarmed civilians. Innocent lives—like 12-year-old Bridget Njoki, killed while watching TV—were taken. #ProtectTheProtest
