The five students of the Revolutionary Students Commission (RSC), who are standing trial for their participation in the protests against the Africa Forward summit of French imperialism in Nairobi, Kenya, are currently being prosecuted.

This comes as part of several arrests made by the repressive State of Kenya during the protests. Several revolutionary organizations in Kenya denounce this repression as part of the lackey State of Kenya’s attempt at cracking down on the growing anti-imperialist movement, and reiterate their intentions of staying defiant in the face of these attacks. RSC is calling for international solidarity and have launched a fund-raising campaign for the support of the arrested activists and their legal fees.
