News summary

On July 24, 2024, journalists in Kenya organized peaceful protests against police brutality following recent attacks on media personnel, including the shooting of Kameme TV journalist Catherine Wanjeri Kariuki and the arrest of veteran journalist Macharia Gaitho, which was later acknowledged as a case of mistaken identity. The protests, led by the Kenya Editors Guild and the Kenya Union of Journalists, focused on demanding press freedom and safety for journalists amid increasing government hostility towards the media. The procession started at Nation Center, proceeding to Jogoo House and Teleposta Towers to deliver a petition to police and government officials. The protests reflect broader concerns about the government's crackdown on dissent and freedom of expression. In a related context, a Ukrainian journalist was arrested for allegedly encouraging armed resistance against military mobilization, showcasing the global struggle for press freedoms. The situation in both countries underscores the critical challenges faced by journalists in their pursuit of truth and accountability.
