Kenyan national Stephen Abdukareem Munyakho has been freed from death row in Saudi Arabia after a blood money settlement of $1 million.

• Munyakho was released following years of diplomatic efforts and humanitarian appeals.
• The settlement was facilitated by the Muslim World League after his execution was postponed twice due to negotiations.
• His conviction stemmed from a 2013 incident where he killed a Yemeni colleague in self-defense.
