Remembering Kenya’s Fallen youth: Defenders of Democracy, Silenced Voices
They marched with a Kenyan flag in one hand, a phone in the other, and a bottle of water in their backpacks—symbols of peaceful resistance, courage, and hope. Bold members of Generation Z—who took to the streets to defend justice, economic dignity, and democracy. These youth were not criminals or threats; they were **patriots exercising their constitutional rights**.
According to **Article 37 of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) – Right to Assembly and Protest**, every person in the Republic of Kenya has the right to peaceably assemble, demonstrate, picket, and present petitions to public authorities. The violent crackdown on peaceful protesters stands in direct violation of this right, and each death represents a profound **failure to protect the future of our nation**.
🎯 We honor these lives, not as statistics, but as voices of courage that will echo through history. Their memory demands accountability, Justice—and a renewed national commitment to uphold the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution and Respect to Human Rights.
🔥 Never again shall a peaceful protester be treated as an enemy of the state
