Social Media Activist Arrested for Organizing Rallies on Facebook
A Facebook user who called for rallies through social media has been detained in Kyrgyzstan. The individual, using the account name “Ayman Manap,” regularly published calls for mass riots. However, it was found that his Facebook account was fake.
The State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) reported that the user was detained on December 10, and his mobile device and other physical evidence were seized.
The arrest comes as the government continues to crack down on social media users who use the platform to incite unrest and promote illegal activities.
It is a reminder that while social media can be a powerful tool for communication and organizing, it also comes with responsibility. Users must be aware of the consequences that come with using the platform to propagate unlawful activities.
The detention of the Facebook user serves as a warning to others who may attempt to use social media to incite violence or lawlessness. The authorities are actively monitoring social media platforms and will take action against those who violate the law.
