Rights groups, including the Police Reforms Working Group (PRWG), have condemned security agencies for alleged violations of constitutional rights during the June 25 Gen Z memorial protests through widespread roadblocks, movement restrictions, and arrests across several counties.

• At least 361 people were reportedly arrested nationwide, with 161 in Nairobi and 123 in Kajiado County.
• The PRWG, a coalition of over 20 human rights and governance organisations, accused police of infringing on freedom of movement, association, and assembly.
• Police actions allegedly violated a February 2025 High Court ruling that barred blanket obstruction of public roads and mandated facilitation of peaceful assemblies, though Mombasa was cited as an example of rights-respecting policing.
