"Good morning Raila Odinga, Martha Karua, and the Azimio fratenity. 35 of your supporters were arrested yesterday. They're are being held at Central Police Station. It’s your duty to get them released. Activists being held here are 32. The HRDs were arrested in the CBD," said Mwangi.
The activist was accompanied to the station by a host of attorneys among them retired chief justice Willy Mutunga, John Khaminwa and Lempaa Suyinka.
Mutunga while accompanying Mwangi to the station with food for the detainees registered his displeasure with the manner in which the state was handling peaceful demonstrators.
Mutunga observed that dictatorship was taking course in the country, reversing the gains made in terms of democracy and citizenry's rights and freedom.
They want the 35 unconditionally released from detention as they is no proof they committed crimes while partaking in their constitutional right to picket.
