Tuesday, July 8, 2025 - The Mount Kenya University School of Law is in mourning after one of its promising students, Ian Mungai, was tragically killed during the Saba Saba protests on Monday.
Ian, a passionate and bright young man with aspirations of
becoming an advocate, was reportedly documenting the protests through his
camera lens when he was struck by a stray bullet to the head.
Eyewitnesses say he was not participating in any acts of
violence, but simply taking photographs on the sidelines when chaos broke out.
His death has sparked outrage among fellow students, human rights
defenders, and the public, many of whom are questioning the use of live
ammunition against unarmed demonstrators and civilians.
Ian had dreamed of becoming a respected advocate and making
a difference in his community.
Friends describe him as soft-spoken, thoughtful, and always
willing to help others in their academic journey.
He was known for his curiosity, love for photography, and
his deep belief in constitutional rights.
His death now adds to the growing list of young lives lost
during the ongoing demonstrations across the country, as protesters demand
better governance, accountability, and protection of civil liberties.
