Resisting Authoritarian Practices: Kenya’s Summer of Protest
September 12, 13-14.30/EST 20-21.30/EAT
As documented in the Amnesty International’s 2024/25 State of the Human Rights Global Report, billions of people and international human rights law face a multiplicity of assaults. The most pernicious of these is the steady spread of authoritarian laws and practices that deliberately target civil liberties, civic and media freedoms as well as economic and social rights.
Over the last three months of 2025 Kenya has been wracked by protests that have been met by brutal violence by the security forces of Kenyan government. Amnesty International Kenya and Amnesty International Kenya USA will host an international forum to discuss the protests and deepen understanding of how Kenya’s youth movements have responded to the crackdown, innovated digital and physical security strategies, built coalitions and implemented rapid response techniques to effectively respond non-violently to authoritarian measures.
This is part of a series of discussions about how campaigns have utilized people power effectively to create more agile, resilient, and impactful non violent resistance in restrictive environments.
