What you need to know:

  • The briefing was abruptly interrupted when a group of young men stormed the venue.
  • Some mothers were left stranded and in tears as the attackers fled with their belongings.

A press briefing by Mothers of Kenya was violently disrupted on Sunday after suspected hired goons stormed the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) offices in Nairobi, threatening the women against joining Saba Saba protests. 

The briefing was to provide a platform for women to mourn victims of police brutality, raise concerns about state repression and demand accountability from authorities ahead of the historic day.
