Free Rose Njeri

Maraga Condemns the Arrest of Rose Njeri, Who Created a Website Against the Finance Bill Rose Njeri has been arrested. Njeri, who also develops digital software, was reportedly arrested Friday afternoon in Nairobi and taken to Pangani Police Station, where she is being detained. Her crime: she developed an online platform called "Civic Email," where citizens could submit their objections to the proposals of the 2025 Finance Bill to parliamentarians. Her detention—without charge or bail—has met with fierce opposition from civil society groups, digital rights activists, and youth groups across the country. Former Chief Justice David Maraga condemned the activist's arrest. The detention was carried out without a warrant; there is no charge, meaning there will be no trial. It could lead to Rose Njeri being "forgotten" in prison. In another country this would be an official crime and the authorities would have to intervene, but the authorities themselves are under pressure. @https://taifaleo.nation.co.ke/habari/habari-za-kitaifa/maraga-akemea-kukamatwa-kwa-rose-njeri-aliyebuni-tovuti-ya-kupinga-mswada-wa-fedha/
