Kenyan policeman arrested in blogger's death as hundreds protest

  • A Kenyan police officer was arrested in connection with the death of blogger Albert Ojwang, leading to protests in Nairobi where protesters were injured and vehicles were burned.
  • Albert Ojwang was arrested for allegedly publishing "false information" about a police official, but he died two days later in police custody.
  • A government pathologist stated that Ojwang had "head injury, neck compression and other injuries spread all over the body that are pointing towards assault," refuting the police's claim of self-infliction.
  • President William Ruto described Ojwang's death as "heartbreaking and unacceptable" amid criticism from Amnesty International and local activists.
