David Lichuma Found After Disappearance During Gen Z Protests

David Lichuma, a well-known social justice activist from Mathare, has been found after going missing during the June 25 protests in Nairobi. He was discovered abandoned outside Kenyatta National Hospital, appearing sedated and disoriented.

Lichuma's disappearance occurred during protests marking the second anniversary of the 2024 Gen Z protests. His sudden absence raised alarms among fellow activists and the public, leading to a missing person report being filed with the National Police Service, which is currently investigating the incident according to Kenyans.co.ke.

Lichuma is recognized for his advocacy work in Mathare, a densely populated area in Nairobi known for its socio-economic challenges. He has been a vocal figure in championing social justice and human rights, often participating in protests and community mobilization efforts.

The broader context of Lichuma's disappearance involves several other activists who went missing during the same protests. Five others have been found and are receiving medical treatment for injuries reportedly sustained during acts of torture as reported by Citizen Digital. This incident has sparked public outcry and calls for accountability from authorities.
