Young protesters gather around a memorial honoring those killed by law enforcement during the recent Finance Bill protests across Kenya. Each rock had the name of a person killed recently. Thousands of Kenyans gathered at Uhuru Park, Nairobi, to commemorate those killed by law enforcement officers during the recent protests against a wide-ranging finance bill. The Shujaaz Memorial Concert took place on Saba Saba Day, an annual event commemorating the July 7, 1990 protests when Kenyans took to the streets to demand free elections. This year’s memorial was especially poignant, reflecting on the ongoing struggle for justice and reform in the country. (Photo by Katie G. Nelson/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)
