After his suspension from office in March, Burora was arrested in June due to his conduct on social media, specifically targeting government officials, including the Speaker of Parliament.
He was charged with hate speech and disseminating malicious information against Speaker Anita Among. After a month on remand, he was released on bail in July.
Burora emerged on the scene through his activism with the Jobless Brotherhood, a group known for its bold protests, including the notorious incident of dropping piglets during the 9th Parliament.
