HeadlineMar 03, 2006

In Kenya, the government is coming under heavy criticism for staging a police raid against Kenya’s second biggest media group. The raid forced CCTV off the air for several hours. It comes days after the station’s sister newspaper, the Standard, published stories critical of the government. Raphael Mutila, an employee of the Standard newspaper said: “All of us were told to lie down, then meanwhile after around two minutes, they ordered us to take the all the newspapers outside there where they forced us to burn all of them.”
