NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 2 — The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has raised concern over attacks on journalists, warning that violence and intimidation against media practitioners threaten the public’s right to information and undermine democratic accountability.
The commission said Kenya recorded 92 verified press freedom violations in 2025, with physical assaults accounting for 67 per cent of the cases.
The figures, published in the Media Council of Kenya’s State of Media Freedom in Kenya 2026 report, point to continued risks facing journalists in the course of their work.
