Strange Provisions in East African Anti-Terrorism Bill

Governments round the world, including the Kenya government, have been under pressure to support the US war on terror. Now Kenya has come up with a strange piece called the Suppression of Terrorism Bill, which Ng'ang'a Thiong'o says violates even some of the most basic legal principles.
Naveed Anwar Mohammed was arrested on June 28, 2003 at Garissa and held in police custody for nine days over suspicions that he was a terrorist. He was released without charges and will now have to wait for years for compensation.
