Saved from the Jaws of Death: Stevo’s 14-Year Ordeal in a Saudi Prison Ends

Saved from the jaws of death, that is the story of Stephen Bertrand Munyakho, better known as Stevo, whose long and painful 14-year ordeal in a Saudi Arabian prison is finally coming to an end, arrested and sentenced for the murder of a Yemeni co-worker in a case that dates back to 2011, Stevo has spent years behind bars, his fate hanging by a thread, but now, after tireless efforts by his family, government, and non-governmental organizations, and the generosity of the world muslim league, his release has been secured, and the price of his freedom is 129 million Kenyan shillings, a sum that once seemed impossible to raise—until now.
