Human rights activists and former freedom fighters hold banners and chant slogans during a demonstartion against the visit of Britain’s King Charles III to Kenya as activists and former freedom fighters gather in Mau Mau road, a road named after a group that fought against the colonial rule, in Nairobi on October 30, 2023.

A year into the bloodshed, Gitu was arrested along with his father and sent to a remote Indian Ocean island.
