All 187 protesters detained during Tuesday’s anti-government demonstrations, including minors, are set to be released on bond.
Faith Odhiambo, president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), announced that those arrested appeared before the Milimani Law Courts on Wednesday to face various charges.
Each adult detainee was granted a bond of Sh. 50,000, contingent upon providing family and relative details.
“The court has granted each of the children arrested a personal bond of Sh. 10,000 and has ordered that they be held at Capitol Hill police station separate from the adults as they provide details of their parents in accordance with the bond terms,” she wrote on X.
Additionally, the court mandated that the police provide details of all arrested individuals by 10 am to prevent delays in their release, even after court orders.
The case will be mentioned again today, Thursday, to discuss further measures for protecting the children, many of whom are orphaned street children.
The peaceful protest on Tuesday escalated into violence after alleged troublemakers disrupted the march, resulting in significant property damage along Tom Mboya Avenue in the capital.
Protesters plan to return to the streets today.
