Description

Described as the most sensational security, diplomatic and judicial quagmire in post-independence Kenya, this is the first-hand testament of a political prisoner's struggle to survive. The prominent and internationally respected Kenyan attracted wide local and international support, with many organisations and individuals supporting his efforts to be freed. His arrest took place in 1986 and for over three years he was in the hands of the security system. He suffered inhuman torture, the authorities being suspicious of his political activities. Here he recounts the story, step-by-step, both of his own treatment and the legal and humanitarian work to get him released.
