A mother's agony as Kenya's first protest victim is laid to rest

Reported about 1 year ago

Edith Wanjiku mourns her son Ibrahim Kamau, the first casualty of the violent protests in Kenya over a proposed tax bill. Kamau, a 19-year-old who had just finished high school and planned to study electrical works, was shot during the protest which ended in chaos with multiple casualties. As Wanjiku struggles to come to terms with her son's tragic death, human rights groups are accusing the police of brutality during the protests and investigations are ongoing. The protests were led by disillusioned young people who feel betrayed by legislators, with President Ruto now facing growing dissent and calls for justice from the grieving mother.
