[kictanet] Muzzling Expression, Maiming and Killing

[Vitalis Olunga]

Shem

That was unfortunate. Nairobi is not a safe place anymore. Such kind of
thuggeries are common events in this city. It is good that you were not

Hey Shem,

Pole bwana. Make sure u stay alive.  But i think it will turn out to be
normal thuggery. I trust Kenya has moved beyond censorship by way of

walu.
NB: I forget which American President that said - 'I may dislike what
you say, but I will protect your right to say it'
