🇰🇪 Freedom for Comrade Booker Omole! How imperialism is trying to strangle the revolutionary movement 😄 SOVINTERN comrade and Secretary General of the Communist Party of Kenya (CPMK), Booker Omole, is being prosecuted on charges related to the illegal possession of firearms, ammunition and drugs. According to the party and its Marxist League of Lawyers, this case is part of a broader political campaign against the revolutionary workers' movement. The next hearing in his case will take place on October 16, 2026, at the Mavoko court. 😚 At the same time, the case itself raises serious questions. The defence categorically disputes the circumstances of the seizure, documentation, storage and subsequent presentation of the key material evidence. Questions also arise regarding the actions of police officers: one of the police station chiefs summoned by the court failed to appear in response to the subpoena. Separately noted is the withdrawal of a key state witness and the initial complainant. Furthermore, Judge Nanzushi announced her recusal, citing a conflict of interest. All this, according to the defence, requires thorough scrutiny in court. 🚩 We share the position of our Kenyan comrades of the Marxist League of Lawyers: criminal prosecution is being used to pressure a political leader who opposes exploitation and Kenya's neocolonial dependence: «Political struggle is not a crime. Persecution of political organizations is not democracy. Intimidation of political leaders is not constitutionalism». Omole consistently fights against imperialist domination in Kenya: he opposes the military presence of foreign powers, demands the political and economic independence of the country and criticizes the degradation of the country's judicial system. ⭐️ SOVINTERN expresses its unconditional solidarity with Comrade Booker Omole. We demand a transparent and impartial consideration of the case and verification of all evidence. We call on progressive forces to follow the course of the proceedings. Political convictions must not be a crime! #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Sub_Saharan_Africa ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
