Mediamax journalist Catherine Wanjeri Kariuki, shot 4 times by police while covering anti-government protests in July, now faces death threats.

She believes threats are attempts to intimidate her into dropping her case against police. Despite fearing for her life & family, she remains committed to seeking justice.

Women Press Freedom stands with Catherine. We denounce intimidation and demand a thorough investigation into the police misconduct.
