Rights activist Bonface Mwangi was yesterday released by the Kahawa Law Courts on a Sh1 million personal bond after spending two nights in custody.

The state dropped terrorism charges previously implied by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), instead, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), preferred two counts against him. Both charges relate to unlawful possession of ammunition and tear-gas canisters; charges to which he pleaded not guilty.
