Kenyan female journalist harassed in Gen Z protests

Kenyan journalist Hanifa Adan faced harassment and attempts to censor her when she covered deadly protests and started fundraising for people injured during the unrest that have left more than 50 people dead in her country. Budget proposals that would have resulted in the prices of basic essentials such as eggs, cooking oil, bread and nappies going up spawned countrywide weeks-long demonstrations starting in June led by the country’s Generation Z mobilising on social media. Some of the government’s tax measures that angered citizens were part of an economic programme supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2024/07/kenya-young-reporters-and-ngos-targeted-as-part-of-clampdown-on-gen-z-protests/
