Kenyan police have set free three individuals who were detained for attending a meeting in Nairobi supporting Palestine.
The three people were released on Sunday without being accused of any wrongdoing. This happened because many Kenyans, politicians, and human rights groups criticized their arrest.
They said they were having a “meeting to show support and unity”.
Kenyan Member of Parliament Yusuf Hassan strongly criticized the arrests.
Irũngũ Houghton, who leads Amnesty International in Kenya, said that the disturbance of the meeting was against the law and very troubling.
The Kenya Palestinian Solidarity Committee arranged it after the police stopped a previous protest the group planned outside the US embassy.
President William Ruto has said his government fully backs Israel in the current conflict.
