The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has intervened following the arrest of Rose Njeri, a Kenyan web developer detained on Friday afternoon under unclear circumstances.
According to LSK, Njeri was initially denied access to legal counsel, and repeated efforts to secure her release on police bail have been unsuccessful.
LSK President Faith Odhiambo said they received multiple distress calls from concerned citizens who witnessed the arrest.
Njeri's detention has sparked outrage online, with many decrying it as a crackdown on digital dissent.
