355 Arrested During June 25 Demonstrations Marking Gen Z Protests Anniversary - June 2026

On June 25, 355 individuals were apprehended during peaceful demonstrations commemorating the anniversary of two years ago, when youths were tragically killed. Two women were arrested last night in Mombasa during a candlelight vigil for Gen Z victims killed in protests. Mombasa County experienced a peaceful demonstration where participants began their activities with a prayer service remembering victims of protest-related violence. The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) is urging the government to ensure justice is served alongside compensation for victims of the recent Gen Z protests. Meanwhile, families of victims are still seeking justice and truth two years after the events.
