Arrested Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi faces terror charges | Kenya

Inspectors said the famous Kenya Rights activist Boniface Mwangi was accused of “facilitating terrorist actions” during the protests that waved last month.

At least 19 people died during the June 25 demonstration against President William Ruto’s government, which was called to pay tribute to victims of violence in another major protest last year.

Mwangi, who was arrested in his home near Nairobi, is organized at a police station in the capital and will be arranged on Monday.

In a social media post shared by its supporters, the activist rejects the charges by saying, “I am not a terrorist”.

The detention triggered an online condemnation wave and became viral of #freebafacemwang hashtag.

The search order police raided Mwangi’s house, which a ally shared with journalists, and accuses the campaign to pay “goons ıyla with restlessness in last month’s protests.

Inspectors said they seized two mobile phones, a laptop and several notepads from his home in the east of the capital, but they seized hard drives, two computers, two unused tear boxes and an empty firearm cartridge from his office in Nairobi.

Since the beginning of the unprecedented protest movement last year, RUTO has faced a sharp criticism of a series of kidnapping and police violence.

Right groups say that more than 100 people have been killed harshly, which have been harshly suppressed since the beginning of the protests.
