Nakuru blogger arrested yesterday on charges of resisting arrest,photographing Huduma centre and causing disturbance was freed and escorted to his house by police 1am today night.
It is interesting that bloggers get arrested and released with no specific charge referred against them, not even getting an opportunity to face the judge.Beats logic of arrest.
A few weeks ago Elijah Kinyanjui another Nakuru blogger was picked by the CID, arrested and after online protest he was released at night.
It is important that every blogger defends the space to blog, but while doing so its also key that we learned our constitutional rights of freedom of expression.
