Having watched the police...I was part of the crowd. Having watched the police on their walkie talkies keenly observing our activities which were very peaceful till then - I thought when will they attack us and attack us they did - TWICE!<BR/>Having survived the first round I went back with a couple of activists to FREEDOM CORNER and saw Wangari Maathai addressing journalists - so I thought at least this is allowed. But NO - the police teargassed us again! The police are supposed to be 'UTUMISHI KWA WOTE' but kumbe they are 'WATUMISHI'waviongozi wachache wanaoonea wakenya! SHAME ON YOU. This is not the end of the story I assure you.<BR/>Having seen the situation calm down I attempted to exit the park with the posters folded but was confronted by the police and all my material was confiscated! I was not allowed to leave the park lest I corrupted the wananchi outside the park with our powerful thoughts. How INSECURE are you? They even threatened to arrest me as I left!<BR/>WE SHALL RETURN.<BR/><BR/>Zahid Rajan<BR/>Nairobi - Mzalendo wa Kenya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
