After their release, Kenyan police attempted to arrest the activists again. These attempts have been denounced by Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the CPM-K.

BREAKING: The Kenya police are planning to rearrest the international guests after detaining them for more than 69 hours without trial.
