Lesotho activist Tšolo Thakeli was arrested after posting a video criticizing Prime Minister Sam Maketane's job creation promises. Thakeli, a long-time campaigner for youth employment, was taken into custody a day after the video, questioning the accuracy of Maketane's claims, went viral. The arrest occurred on Father's Day, with armed police arriving at Thakeli's home. The incident highlights concerns about freedom of speech and government response to criticism in Lesotho. Thakeli's supporters argue his arrest is politically motivated and an attempt to silence dissent regarding the country's high unemployment rate.
