NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 10 – 73 demonstrators arrested in Nairobi during Saba Saba protests on Friday have been freed after the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) declined to prefer charges.
The prosecution through counsel Anderson Gikunda told Nairobi Chief magistrate Lucas Onyina that the decision had been made not to prefer criminal charges against the suspects.
Gikunda stated that the ODPP in consultation with the suspects’ lawyers John Khaminiwa, Otiende Amollo, Haruin Ndubi and Senator Daniel Maanzo arrived at the conclusion after it was decided that the suspects were exercising their democratic rights.
