Kenyan Activist Released on Bail Amidst Crackdown | JQJO

Kenyan human rights activist Boniface Mwangi was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of ammunition following June protests against President William Ruto's administration. Initially accused of terrorism, the charges were downgraded. Mwangi, a vocal critic of the government, denies the charges and was released on bail. Critics accuse the government of using terrorism charges to stifle dissent, citing numerous arrests of protesters on similar charges. The government maintains the charges are justified due to the violent nature of the protests.
