💨 Abstract

In Kenya, activist Boniface Mwangi had his terror charges dropped but now faces lesser charges. He was arrested on July 19, 2025, following protests, with rights groups condemning the initial charges as politically motivated. Mwangi, who denied the terrorist accusations, now faces charges of possessing ammunition and noxious substances. Rights organizations criticized the government's use of anti-terrorism laws against protesters, highlighting a broader crackdown on dissent.
