- According to Mwita, Kiprotich escaped armed men in a Toyota Probox who tried to seize him from his car on June 27, 2026.
- Mwita said the abduction was the second time Kiprotich had been targeted within two months.
- Mwita said the vehicle was traced to the National Police Service’s Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau; nobody was held accountable for the attempt.
- Mwita demanded Kiprotich’s safe, unconditional release and a transparent, independent investigation into both incidents.
If that is confirmed, this is not simply a crime against one man. It is an assault on the Constitution of Kenya, on the freedoms of expression and of the media guaranteed under Articles 33 and 34, and on the right of every Kenyan to independent information.— Chaacha Mwita, Standard Group's Chief Executive Officer, in a statement.

- In a report published on July 8, UN Watch accused UNESCO of honoring at least seven men killed in Gaza as journalists despite later identifications to the contrary.
- The CPJ announced a database review at almost the same time and said it had already deleted 20 entries, including eight because of indications of Hamas or Islamic Jihad membership.
- The CPJ says people are removed from its statistics when evidence shows involvement in fighting or calls for violence, but independent checking remains impossible because access to Gaza is unavailable.
- The article makes clear that the revisions neither substantiate all Israeli allegations nor disprove every international casualty figure, and calls for transparent procedures and publicly traceable corrections.

- The U.S. government issued subpoenas to multiple New York Times journalists regarding their coverage of security concerns with the new Air Force One gifted by Qatar.
- The subpoenas require reporters to appear before a federal grand jury investigating a potential unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
- The administration defends the action as necessary for national security, while the newspaper views it as a threat to press freedom.
- This dispute underscores the ongoing tension between government secrecy and the public’s right to be informed.
The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects.— David McCraw, a lawyer for The Times, said in a statement.
