Press Freedom: Letter to Kibaki

Dear President Kibaki:

On March 2, 2006 government forces raided the headquarters and printing plant of the Standard Group. In addition to destroying equipment and newspapers, they shut down the KTN news station.This latest attack follows the jailing of three journalists from Standard Newspaper, attacks on Citizen Weekly, and ongoing harassment of journalists by government-sponsored forces.

I urge you to condemn these attacks and to support freedom of the press.

Apologies to cricket fans, but this is something that any blog relating to Kenya should have published - I am already remiss for taking a couple of days to do so. Original idea from Keguro.
