Four Kenyan human rights defenders were on Wednesday morning arrested outside Uganda house in Nairobi as they went to present a protest letter on the Uganda elections.
Those arrested included Haki Africa Executive Director Hussein Khalid, Beatrice Waithera, Ojiro Odhiambo and Yassah Musa who were protesting against political injustices in Uganda.
Police used teargas to disperse the growing crowd as they tried to bundle the protesters into a police land cruiser.
Those apprehended are being held at the Central Police Station.
Police declined to reveal why they arrested the activists and what offense they had committed, if any.
The demonstrators had converged at the Ugandan embassy located in Uganda House to issue a statement in solidarity with Ugandans “against police excesses and securitisation of elections.”
