Three journalists said on Thursday they spent the night in their newsroom in fear of arrest, watching plainclothes policemen camped outside.
They also said their lawyers would file court petitions seeking to ensure their freedom.
Their station, NTV, was one of three independently owned stations shut down by authorities on Tuesday after they broadcast live coverage of an opposition ceremony symbolically swearing-in NASA leader Raila Odinga. “We were doing our job, we had the right to do this, and if I was to do it again, I’d do it the same way,” NTV senior anchor and reporter Ken Mijungu told Reuters.
