On July 15, Kenya's High Court is set to deliver a landmark ruling. For years, Rastafarians — whose faith is officially recognised in Kenya — have been seeking the legalisation of cannabis, which they consider essential to their religious practice. The decision could have far-reaching consequences, as it pits the constitutional right to freedom of religion against the country's strict anti-narcotics laws. #Kenya #Rastafarians #smoke 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
