肯尼亚神职人员以言论自由和宗教自由风险为由抗议新法律, Kenyan clergy protest new laws, citing free speech and religious freedom risks, as court suspends part of cybercrime law.

肯尼亚神职人员和教会团体反对两项新法律:《计算机滥用和网络犯罪(修正)法》和拟议的《宗教组织法案》,其中提到过于严厉的处罚、对言论自由的威胁和宗教自由的风险。 Kenyan clergy and church groups oppose two new laws: the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act and the proposed Religious Organisations Bill, citing overly harsh penalties, threats to free expression, and risks to religious freedom. 他们批评缺乏公众咨询,并警告法律可能被用来压制异见和打击网上宗教活动。 They criticize the lack of public consultation and warn the laws could be used to suppress dissent and target online religious activities. 高等法院发布了一项保护令,暂停部分网上犯罪法,而立法者则作为打击网上威胁所必要的辩护理由进行辩护,并经过公众协商,强调打击网上威胁的必要性。 The High Court has issued a conservatory order suspending part of the cybercrime law, while lawmakers defend it as necessary for combating online threats and stress it underwent public consultation. 牧师们敦促威廉·鲁托总统进行干预,并呼吁在立法中加强问责制。 The clergy urge President William Ruto to intervene and call for greater accountability in legislation.
