Kenya deports Odinga ally over ‘inauguration’
A Kenyan lawyer charged with treason over the symbolic presidential inauguration of opposition leader Raila Odinga was deported yesterday.
Miguna Miguna said he was forcibly put on a flight to Amsterdam. The government argued it was legal to deport him because he had lost his citizenship under a now-defunct law.
Mr Miguna was detained days after he took part in the unofficial swearing-in of Mr Odinga, a move designed to directly challenge Uhuru Kenyatta, the Kenyan president.
