The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has clarified its recent decisions to charge numerous protesters with terrorism following public backlash. The office asserts that these charges comply with the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

• 37 suspects were initially arrested for allegedly setting fire to the Kikuyu Law Courts.
• Director of Public Prosecution Renson Ingonga emphasized the charges were based on calculated acts of violence intended to disrupt government operations.
• The crackdown on protests began after the events of June 25 and July 7, 2025, with activists like Boniface Mwangi being involved in related incidents.
