    Kenya has dropped terror charges against well-known activist Boniface Mwangi, who had been arrested for his alleged role in recent street protests. Instead of terrorism, Mwangi was charged with unlawful possession of ammunition but was released on bond immediately after his court appearance on Monday.

    Authorities initially accused Mwangi, 42, of helping to organize violent protests on June 25 that led to clashes and the deaths of at least 19 people. These protests marked the anniversary of last year’s demonstrations against President William Ruto’s government, which also highlighted police violence.

    Mwangi was arrested on Saturday by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and accused of “facilitation of terrorist acts,” a claim he strongly denied. On social media, Mwangi declared, “I am not a terrorist,” pushing back against the serious accusations.

    Police said they found several items during a raid on Mwangi’s home, including unused tear gas canisters, a 7.62mm blank round, mobile phones, a laptop, and notebooks. The charge sheet claimed he possessed “three tear gas canisters without lawful authority” and a single round of blank ammunition illegally. However, Mwangi’s lawyer, Njanja Maina, insisted that the activist never had those items.

    Mwangi’s wife, Njeri, shared on social media that security forces raided their home, accusing them of terrorism and arson. The raid and charges sparked concern among Mwangi’s supporters, many of whom filled the Nairobi courtroom on Monday. Supporters wore Kenyan flags and showed strong solidarity with the activist.

    After the hearing, Mwangi was granted bail and released immediately. Speaking to supporters and reporters outside the court, he said, “The truth is our president is scared of young people, because young people are organising by themselves, they are going to the streets, they are demanding better.”

    This case reflects growing tensions in Kenya as young activists push for political change. Mwangi, known for his bold stance against government abuses, has become a key figure in the movement demanding justice and reforms.

    The shift from terror charges to possession of ammunition marks a significant change in the legal approach to Mwangi’s case. It also raises questions about the government’s handling of dissent and the limits placed on peaceful protest in Kenya.

    As the country watches closely, Mwangi’s case highlights ongoing debates about civil rights, security, and freedom of expression. Many see the charges as an attempt to intimidate activists who challenge the current government.
