Kenyan communist targeted by authorities after protests
KENYAN communists slammed “intimidation and repression” by authorities against a party leader today.
The central organising committee of the Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) said that, after participating in anti-government protests, its vice-chair Booker Ngesa Omole’s car was impounded by police, “who now demand his appearance in person at the Director of Criminal Investigations’ office.”
The CPK labelled the summons “nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to silence dissent and crush the spirits of those who dare to demand justice and accountability.”
