Four Kenyan filmmakers who were recently apprehended over their alleged involvement in the 'Blood Parliament' documentary by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have been summoned to appear at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters in Kiambu Road.
Activist Boniface Mwangi revealed the latest development through his X account on Tuesday, May 6, calling for Kenyans to escort Nicholas Wambugu, Brian Adagala, Chris Wamae and Markdenver Karubiu in solidarity. "The four filmmakers who were arrested on Friday, their equipment illegally confiscated, and forced to give their laptops, and phone passwords by DCI, have been summoned to DCI headquarters today at 2pm.
Join us to escort them in solidarity.
Filmmaking isn't a crime," stated Mwangi. Fellow activist Hussein Khalid, in a phone call with Kenyans.co.ke, confirmed the news, adding that fellow activists Hanifa Adan and Shakira Wafula, as well as officials from the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), would be present.
