Monday 27 March, Nairobi – The right to assemble, protest, picket and petition is enshrined under Article 37 of our Constitution. Other rights, including the freedom of expression, media, public participation, and the right to security of the person, underpin it. The right to protest played a powerful and transformative part in democratisation and constitutionalism, enshrining equality, equity, non-discrimination, constitutionalism, and human dignity.
