KENYA UPDATE: COMRADES IN DEFIANCE Today, three Kenyan activists, Mark Amiani, Mutunge Mwangi, and Mulingwa Nzau were finally presented in court after four days of unlawful detention and public smear campaigns. The fire in their voices as they entered the courtroom: “Amandla!” And the crowd responded: “Awethu!” (Power! To the People!) "Viva, Fighters! Viva!" This is the spirit of a rising Africa; unafraid, united, and unbowed. 📢 Demand: 1. The immediate release of all detained activists 2. An end to intimidation and surveillance of organisers 3. The full protection of the right to protest and organise To the Kenyan state: you cannot detain a movement. To Africans across the continent: their struggle is your struggle. Support voices in Kenya, make them louder Nairobi to Dakar, Goma to Accra until every activist is free. #FreeOurComrades #AfricansRising #BorderlessAfrica

THREE ARRESTED FOR THE JUNE 25TH GOONS ATTACK ON PERSONS AND PROPERTY In an intelligence-led operation conducted on Friday, June 27, DCI detectives intercepted and arrested three ill-reputed campaigners who, through coordinated channels and social media posts, incited goons to violence, massive theft and destruction of property, thus propagating a narrative that undermined national stability and the constitutionally protected right to peaceably assemble and picket. JOHN MULINGWA NZAU alias GARANG, MARK AMIANI alias GENERALI and FRANCIS MUTUNGE MWANGI alias CHEBUKATI were flushed from a Mombasa bound bus at the Konza City section, following an indepth forensic investigation triggered by testimonies from concerned and affected citizens. Among others who have already been identified and are being pursued, the suspects had planned to hole up at a coastal hideout to evade police dragnet, oblivious that justice would catch up with them sooner or later. The DCI condemns the actions of the three mobilizers which reflected deliberate intention to cause violence that saw businesses looted and persons injured, a subversive action that beat the logic and intentions of the general public to exercise a protected right. They will be arraigned in court Monday. Several charges including malicious damage to property, arson, stealing and incitement to violence and disobedience of the law may be preferred.
