        You are misleading the world. This man has detained himself to seek relevance & media attention . He travelled on a CANADIAN PASSPORT to Kenya & all he is required to do is to fill a visa form to enable Immigration officers clear him into Kenya.

        I love BBC. But it would help if they gave or posted correct information. Miguna has not been detained by anyone else.

        Not only Contempt of Court, all these atrocities and violation of human right can not be swept under the carpet. This is not how matters in a democratic country should be handled. The officials in fact are not fit to handle those posts they are causing more harm
