Despite strong opposition against the formation of the new security bill, eventually the president of Kenya Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta has signed it into law. Consequently, Hizb ut Tahrir East Africa would like to mention the followings:

The quick and forceful signing into law of the new security bill clearly exposes the ill motives of the government and the respective security forces aiming to continue in the oppression and subjugation of innocent citizens especially the Muslims who without any slight doubt are the real target of this draconian law under the pretext of combating terror. We say it is a continuation of oppression since before the promulgation; the Muslim community has witnessed brutal killings of their brothers by the security agencies under the guise of fighting terrorism.

Looks like this new draconian law of security, has taken a new stance on the war on terror. This is to gag and subdue the media and prohibit them from reporting the brutality being committed by the security forces! It’s awfully sad that despite clear evidences showing the involvement of the security agencies in these atrocities the government keeps on denying any involvement.

This law keeps divulging the lies of the democratic slogans upholding freedom including freedom of expression and information by the media. All these and many others happen even after the democratic politicians have taken oath to protect democracy and its laws, at the same time they turn a blind eye and spurn all what they claim to uphold what already contradict their constitution. It’s only recent, that it has been discovered that America, the nation that brags itself worldwide to be the advocate of human rights, that the CIA have been involved in the cruelty and brutal torture of the suspects of terrorism. In short, the capitalist ideology is a mere illusion and fallacies that even the capitalists themselves don’t trust.

Security can be improved without the passing of any draconian law which themselves breach security. We have been repeating over and over again that the security apparatus under the yoke of capitalism democracy are always used by the politicians to protect their selfish interests not those of citizens. That is why; it is quite often to find drug barons are in collaboration with the security agencies in this heinous merchandise.

Finally, we strongly believe that all the laws channeled to fight terrorism being passed by any developing countries are a result of western regimes pressure. As we have stated earlier on, the western regimes have absolutely failed to fight Islam both intellectually and ideologically, prompting them to resort to all conceivable means of torture and oppression against Muslims who are the proponents of Islam who will soon form the just and righteous Khilafah State to proliferate justice and remove injustice and oppression under its shade.
