Opposition slams use of anti-terror law on youth leaders

The opposition has slammed the government over what it terms as arbitrary arrests and the continued detention of vocal government critics. Opposition leaders claim the state is misusing anti-terrorism laws to silence dissenting voices. This follows a wave of arrests targeting youth leaders, many of whom are being held awaiting terror-related charges. On Friday, 25 youths were presented at the Kahawa Law Courts to face similar charges, but their plea taking was deferred.
