Kenyans have been urged to stay at home on June 25 in remembrance of young people killed during anti-government protests over the past two years.
The remembrance march has been organised under #HakiSasa and #JusticeNow.
The organisers have urged Kenyans to stay away from work and school on June 25 as part of a nationwide remembrance of those who lost their lives during demonstrations.
The organisers plan to deliver a notification to Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja regarding the planned remembrance activities.
The families said they would be accompanied by Chief Justice Emeritus Willy Mutunga, Senior Counsel Martha Karua, Senior Counsel James Orengo, Senior Counsel Gitobu Imanyara, and Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI) Executive Director Khelef Khalifa.
The group is seeking assurances from the Inspector General that police will protect lives and property during peaceful marches planned across the country on June 25.
“We want assurance from the IG of police that he will protect life and property during the peaceful marches taking place across Kenya on June 25, 2026,” the statement said.
The families also called for an end to deaths linked to protests, saying no parent should lose a child for participating in a peaceful demonstration.
In Nairobi, parents, siblings, relatives and friends of
those who died are expected to march to Parliament on June 25 to demand justice
and lay flowers at locations where some of the victims were killed.
