Boniface Mwangi was arrested and is reportedly being accused of terrorism and arson. This arrest comes just days after he filed a lawsuit against the Government of Tanzania. This raises serious questions about state intimidation and shrinking civic space. #FreeBonifaceMwangi

1/5: Comrades, I have been informed that police officers were at my residence in Nairobi this morning. I’m unable to leave the house because there is a likelihood that intelligence operatives intending to abduct me are still in the area #FreeMuthaiga3 #June25th #RutoMustGo

PRESS PACK - #FreeMuthaiga3 Three well-known human rights defenders are being illegally detained on trumped-up charges. The Ruto regime has started cracking down on grassroots community organisers, making false allegations in attempt to cover-up the true state-sponsored criminals who have been hired for a multitude of violent acts over the recent days of peaceful protest. On the night of June 26th, The DCI arbitrarily arrested the Muthaiga three, their full details within our press statement. We seek your support in helping us to expose and amplify the truth, as we push for their unconditional release. Find attached a press pack with imagery of the comrades, press statements from multiple organizations and coalitions. We’ve also included photos from other journalists of some of the hundreds of state-sponsored goons, clearly distinguishable from those facing these baseless trumped-up charges. drive.google.com/drive/folders/… We sincerely appreciate your support in amplification and defending the truth. Thank you. #FreeNdianguiKinyagia #FreeMuthaiga3 #RutoMustGo

MY LIFE IS IN DANGER! Statementby @Sungu_Oyoo Kongamano La #MapinduziKE's National Spokesperson. #FreeMuthaiga3 #HandsOffOurActivists

@DCI_Kenya He was protesting peacefully and unarmed as provided for by the constitution. Your allegations are complete fiction...

🚨 SOLIDARITY ALERT Comrade Generali, comrade Chebu and comrade Garanga pictured below have been arrested and are currently being unlawfully detained by @DCI_Kenya at Muthaiga Police Station. We demand their immediate release. Activism is not a crime. #FreeChebu #FreeGenerali #FreeGarang

The arrest of activists linked to the June 25 uprising is a desperate act by Ruto's regime terrified of truth. We fear torture & malicious charges but we will not be silenced. This is state terror. Free all comrades now! #StopTheCrackdown Release Garang, chebukati & Generali now!

All power belongs to the people and no state agency can take it away from the people #FreeAliueBah #FreeOurComrades #JailTheCorruptNotComrades

Our Comrades are being illegally detained in Pangani Police Station. The government is continuing to demonstrate their fear of the people power. More than 26 comrades are being illegally detained.Solidarity needed!!! @AAfrikki @UhaiWetu @DefendersKE @FrontLineHRD @AmnestyKenya

As #Ramadhan began in Kenya, concerned customers visited @zucchini_ke store branches at 8 separate locations across #Nairobi to physically deliver letters affirming the decision to #boycott the chain until they comply with their commitment to drop Israeli products.

This #InternationalWomensDay let us pause and reflect. Let us remember the women who have been failed by the system. Those in war, those who had their lives taken from them and for you who continues to fight for a system change. We are not relenting but we are tired. We just want to LIVE! #freepalestine🇵🇸 #freesudan🇸🇩 #freecongo🇨🇩 #EndFemicideke

The police invaded @chechebooks at our solidarity meeting and arrested 3 of our Comrades who are now at Muthangari Police station. Call for their release. This is illegal and unconstitutional! #releasecheche3, #StopGazaGenocide #endtheoccupation
