The arrest of human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has sparked controversy, with his legal team alleging that evidence was planted by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to support terrorism charges against him.

• Mwangi was arrested on July 19 and is accused of facilitating terrorism during protests on June 25.
• His lawyer, Njanja Maina, claims police illegally searched both his office and home.
• Items allegedly recovered include a blank round, tear gas canisters, two mobile phones, and a laptop, which Mwangi's team denies he possessed.
