For more than a decade, Stephen Munyakho, commonly known as Stevo, lived under the shadow of death in a Saudi Arabian prison, awaiting execution for the death of a colleague.
His fate seemed sealed until a last-minute intervention, one that took years of relentless campaigning, diplomacy, and an extraordinary act of generosity, which secured his life.
Munyakho, now 51, had left Kenya in his early 20s to work in Saudi Arabia, seeking better economic prospects.
His journey took a tragic turn in 2011 when he was convicted of manslaughter following a workplace altercation that ended in the death of a Yemeni colleague.
