"We demand his immediate release and an end to harassment."

"Boniface is a hero, not a criminal," tweeted Kenyan author and activist, Binyavanga Wainaina. "We stand with him against intimidation and harassment."

Mwangi's family, legal team, friends, and fellow activists have gathered outside Kamukunji Police Station, demonstrating their solidarity and demanding his release. "We will not be silenced," said Mwangi's wife, Njeri Mwangi. "Boniface's work is crucial to Kenya's democracy, and we will continue to fight for his freedom."

The Kenyan government faces mounting pressure to provide a resolution to Mwangi's case. As international scrutiny intensifies, authorities must balance their response with the need to uphold democratic principles and protect human rights.
