Human rights activist Maina Kiai [freeassembly.net]
Human rights activist Maina Kiai has been arrested and detained.
This is according to blogger Robert Alai.
In a post appearing on Kawahatungu.com, Alai said Kiai was arrested Sunday morning and later detained at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
"Maina Kiai, a human rights activist with the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) was on Sunday morning detained at JKIA," he said.
"Immigration officers are said to have demanded for his travel clearance yet he was not a government official. Kiai missed his 7.50 am flight because the immigration officials could not stamp his passport," the post added.
His arrest comes just days after the government launched a strong onslaught on the KHRC, threatening to deregister it.
