Self-declared National Resistance Movement General Miguna Miguna has issued a fresh statement from a toilet at terminal 2,Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) more than 24 hours after he landed into the country but was detained by immigration authorities.
In a scathing attack at the government and immigration officials, Miguna narrates his harrowing ordeal and the sequence of events that have led to violation of numerous court orders which go against his human rights as a Kenyan citizen.
Harrowing experience
"In full view of the media and therefore the entire world, the respondents physically assaulted me, tore my clothes, refused to allow me to re-enter Kenya, abducted me and attempted to force me to fly out to Dubai without any documentation whatsoever.
I have been illegally detained incommunicado without charge or legal justification since March 26th.
I am detained inside a tiny and filthy toilet without access to basic hygiene and necessities of life. The respondents haven’t provided me with food, water and medical attention in addition to not according me my right to counsel.
I have no access to a bathroom and I have not taken a shower since Sunday, March 25th. The toilet where I am being held has no shower or bathtub. There is only hot water in the toilet, hence, I am also unable to wash my face and brush my teeth," Miguna wrote in his statement.

Access to lawyers
