Keguro has drafted a letter in response to the Government backed police raid on Kenyan paper, The Standard.
Dear President Kibaki:
On March 2, 2006 government forces raided the headquarters and printing plant of the Standard Group. In addition to destroying equipment and newspapers, they shut down the KTN news station.
This latest attack follows the jailing of three journalists from Standard Newspaper, attacks on Citizen Weekly, and ongoing harassment of journalists by government-sponsored forces.
I urge you to condemn these attacks and to support freedom of the press.
Keguro has urged bloggers to copy and paste the letter on their blogs. We are free to amend the letter to suit our needs.
Thanks Keguro for starting the process.
