ย | |||
This page is dedicated to the young Kenyansโmany from Generation Zโwho were killed while peacefully demanding justice, accountability, and a better future. They took to the streets armed only with conviction, voices raised in unity, not violence. | |||
ย | |||
They were students, creatives, workersโsons, daughters, friends, fathers. | |||
They were killed for daring to dream out loud. | |||
ย | |||
This memorial honors their lives and their sacrifice. We refuse to let their stories be buried or forgotten. In their memory, we bear witness. In their names, we continue the struggle. | |||
ย | |||
They didnโt die in vain. Kenya must remember. | |||
ย | |||
== Constitutional Violations == | |||
The violent suppression of peaceful protests constitutes a clear violation of the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. Each resulting death underscores a grave failure to uphold and adhere to constitutional and human rights obligations. | |||

''โ...Shall strive for the highest standards of professionalism and discipline among its members.โ'' โ '''Article 244(d)''' | |||

=== โ๏ธ 6.ย [https://wikizetu.com/index.php/Category:Kenya_2010_constitution#50._Fair_hearing Presumption of Innocence in Kenyan Law - Article 50] === | |||
ย | |||
In '''Kenyan law''', the right to a fair trial โ including the '''presumption of innocence''' โ is firmly protected under the Kenya 2010 constitution. | |||
ย | |||
'''Article 50(2)(a)''' of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 states: | |||
ย | |||
:''"Every accused person has the right to a fair trial, which includes the rightโ | |||
(a) to be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved;"'' | |||
ย | |||
This means that: | |||
* An accused person '''does not have to prove their innocence'''. | |||
* The '''burden of proof''' rests on the '''prosecution'''. | |||
* The prosecution must prove the case '''beyond reasonable doubt'''. | |||
* Any doubt must be resolved in '''favour of the accused'''. | |||
ย | |||
''' Principles of a Fair Trial in Kenya ''' | |||
* '''Fair hearing''': Conducted before an independent and impartial court. | |||
* '''Legal representation''': The accused has the right to choose and be represented by a legal practitioner. | |||
* '''Disclosure of evidence''': The prosecution is required to disclose all relevant evidence to the defence. | |||
* '''Timely trial''': The trial must be conducted without unreasonable delay. | |||

Remembering Kenyaโs Fallen youth: Defenders of Democracy, Silenced Voices







This page is dedicated to the young Kenyansโmany from Generation Zโwho were killed while peacefully demanding justice, accountability, and a better future. They took to the streets armed only with conviction, voices raised in unity, not violence.
They were students, creatives, workersโsons, daughters, friends, fathers. They were killed for daring to dream out loud.
This memorial honors their lives and their sacrifice. We refuse to let their stories be buried or forgotten. In their memory, we bear witness. In their names, we continue the struggle.
They didnโt die in vain. Kenya must remember.
Constitutional Violations
The violent suppression of peaceful protests constitutes a clear violation of the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence. Each resulting death underscores a grave failure to uphold and adhere to constitutional and human rights obligations.
๐ 1. - Right to Life โ Article 26
โEvery person has the right to life.โ โ Article 26(1) โA person shall not be deprived of life intentionally, except to the extent authorized by this Constitution or other written law.โ โ Article 26(3)
๐๏ธ 2. Freedom of Assembly, Demonstration and Petition โ Article 37
โEvery person has the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities.โ โ Article 37
๐ฎ 3. Use of Force by Police โ Article 244 & National Police Service Act
โThe National Police Service shall comply with constitutional standards of human rights and fundamental freedoms.โ โ Article 244(c) โ...Shall strive for the highest standards of professionalism and discipline among its members.โ โ Article 244(d)
The National Police Service Standing Orders further require that use of force must be:
- Proportionate
- Necessary
- Justifiable
- A last resort
โ๏ธ 4. Human Dignity & Protection from Torture โ Articles 28 and 29
โEvery person has inherent dignity and the right to have that dignity respected and protected.โ โ Article 28 โEvery person has the right to freedom and security... which includes the right not to be treated or punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading manner.โ โ Article 29(f)
๐ณ๏ธ 5. Sovereignty of the People โ Article 1
โAll sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution.โ โ Article 1(1)
โ๏ธ 6. Presumption of Innocence in Kenyan Law - Article 50
In Kenyan law, the right to a fair trial โ including the presumption of innocence โ is firmly protected under the Kenya 2010 constitution.
Article 50(2)(a) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 states:
- "Every accused person has the right to a fair trial, which includes the rightโ
(a) to be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved;"
This means that:
- An accused person does not have to prove their innocence.
- The burden of proof rests on the prosecution.
- The prosecution must prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
- Any doubt must be resolved in favour of the accused.
Principles of a Fair Trial in Kenya
- Fair hearing: Conducted before an independent and impartial court.
- Legal representation: The accused has the right to choose and be represented by a legal practitioner.
- Disclosure of evidence: The prosecution is required to disclose all relevant evidence to the defence.
- Timely trial: The trial must be conducted without unreasonable delay.
International Law violations
- African Charter on Human and Peoplesโ Rights
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
- UN Human Rights Council Resolution 25/38 โ Protection of Human Rights in Protests (2014)
- UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
- Convention Against Torture (CAT)
- International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)
- UN General Assembly Resolution 68/167 โ The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age (2013)
- UN Special Rapporteur Reports (especially on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions)
- United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials (1990)
- ICCPR Article 9 โ Liberty and Security of Person
- Convention Against Torture (CAT) & ICCPR โ Freedom from Torture
- ICCPR Article 21 & ACHPR Article 11 - Freedom of Peaceful Assembly
๐ฏ We honor these lives, not as statistics, but as voices of courage that will echo through history. Their memory demands accountability, Justiceโand a renewed national commitment to uphold the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution and Respect to Human Rights.
๐ฅ Never again shall we treat a peaceful protester as an enemy of the state.
