When we first arrived at the Central Business District we could smell and feel the tear gas in the air, just a few minutes after the peaceful protests had started. This confused me a lot because we had permits to protest-one would think this meant we had a legal right to be there and gather, Waruguru said.
At this point my heart grew heavy and I started to understand that the police and government aimed to get us to stop by any means necessary, Waruguru said. We learned that later that day people lost their lives. This is a gathering that the government issued permits for, leading us to believe we would be safe.
