The writers were reportedly arrested while taking part in a peaceful protest and severely beaten while in police custody. Ikonya and Fwamba, who both required hospital treatment following the attack, have been denied the right to lodge an official complaint against the police officer who assaulted them. The WiPC reminds the Kenyan authorities of its duty to protect its citizens, including their right to freedom of expression, assembly and peaceful protest, as well as freedom from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. It calls on the authorities to conduct a full and impartial investigation into the alleged police assault as a matter of urgency and to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[(Media Institute/IFEX) - On 16 December 2008, Kenya's Parliament launched a scathing attack on the media and vowed to ensure it is "tamed." One member after another tore into the media, apparently angered by the all-out campaign against a controversial Bill recently passed by Parliament that seeks to give the government power to control media content. The onslaught was started by Bura MP Danson Mungatana who rose to complain about being labelled as Enemy No.1 of the media for supporting the Bill that seeks to control the content, manner and scheduling of radio and TV programmes.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[(Media Institute/IFEX) - The media in Kenya was stunned as Kenya's Parliament defiantly enacted a draconian law on 10 December 2008 that will empower the Minister for Internal Security to take over media houses and confiscate equipment on grounds of state security. The president has two weeks within which he can decline to sign the law and can send it back to parliament with his reasons. If he does nothing then the law is automatically passed. ]]></description>
