KENYAN communists were released from prison on Thursday after being detained for over 24 hours during a police raid.
Twenty-six activists from the Communist Party of Kenya (CPK), including its national treasurer Wahome Waringa, were released from Pangani Police Station, a suburb of Nairobi, after being detained and reportedly tortured at the hands of the police.
This is the latest in a series of attacks on the Communist Party by Kenyan authorities.
