Kenya: Police Crack Down on School Play Critical of Ruto, Sparks Outrage | Firstpost Africa | N18G
The national high school drama festival in Kenya was overshadowed when police used tear gas to disperse crowds after Butere Girls High School students attempted to perform the controversial play “Echoes of War”. The play’s author, Cleophas Malala, was detained despite holding a court order allowing the performance. In response, students boycotted the event and protested outside the venue. The incident has drawn criticism from human rights groups and Kenya’s Chief Justice, who raised concerns over defiance of court orders and freedom of expression. On social media, many slammed the government, with some linking the play’s themes to growing public discontent against President William Ruto. Watch the video for more details.
