'Police raid' on Kenya newspaper

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Standard's offices were raided in the early hours

 

 

 

Masked

gunmen believed to be police stormed the offices of Kenya's second largest media

group, disabling printing presses and shutting its TV station.

They burned thousands of copies of the Standard, Kenya's oldest

newspaper during the raid in the early hours.

The information minister denied any knowledge of the raid. An

opposition leader called it a " dark day " .

Three Standard journalists are still being held without charge

following a story about President Mwai Kibaki.

Both he and senior opposition figure Kalonzo Musyoka denied a

report in the Standard last week that they had been holding secret meetings.

Hooded men carrying AK47s raided the offices of the Standard

group in the capital Nairobi at just after midnight.
