Jomo Kenyatta, the first President of Kenya, was imprisoned during the Mau Mau Uprising against British colonial rule. He was arrested in 1952 and charged with managing the Mau Mau organization, which was fighting for land and freedom. Kenyatta spent about nine years in prison, and his imprisonment was part of the British government's efforts to suppress the nationalist movement in Kenya. He was released in 1961 and later became a key figure in Kenya's independence.
