VOCAL Africa is presently in Kahawa Law Courts today for the hearing of Boniface Mwangi’s case, charged with alleged possession of ammunition. A blatant attempt to silence dissent and intimidate human rights defenders.

Boniface Mwangi has been released and is now safely back home with his family. This moment is a powerful reminder that collective solidarity can break chains but the struggle against state intimidation is far from over.

Walid Sketty, Vocal Africa: By the time we got to Aga Khan to take Mwabili for treatment, we were actually chased away. We believe there was a collaboration between the security apparatus and Aga Khan Hospital. @ashleymazuri #WeekendatOne
