Kim has been in custody since August and is expected to appeal the sentence.

🇰🇪 Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o once wrote a whole novel on toilet paper — from behind bars.

After his revolutionary play criticizing the Kenyan government, he was thrown into Kamĩtĩ Maximum Prison in 1977. But even in detention, he kept resisting — writing Devil on the Cross in Gĩkũyũ, on scraps of toilet paper.

It wasn’t just a novel. It was a bold stand for language, identity, and freedom.

🕊️ Rest in power, Ngũgĩ. Your words still fight.
