Anger is mounting in Kenya following the death of Albert Ojwang whilst in custody. The activist was arrested on Saturday, subsequent to a complaint from the police, who accused him of damaging their reputation on social media. Activists have taken to the streets in protest, as Kenya approaches the one-year anniversary of daily uprisings against government corruption and tax reforms.
Albert Ojwang died just a few hours after his arrest. He had been detained for allegedly criticising the police on his blog and social media.
