Kimathi: 'I was framed over Kampala World Cup attacks'

Kenyan human right activist Al-Amin Kimathi stated that the Kenyan government framed him for the 2010 Kampala World Cup bombing because as he says "It was pay-back time for my previous human rights defense of victims of extraordinary rendition". He was head of the Muslim Human Rights Forum that has been accused over the years of doing illegal rendition. Most of the people in Kenya and Uganda that are involved in this are being arrested without giving them access to fair and even trial processes. The Kenyan government have let Kimathi and four others go because they have stated that there is a lack against them and two Ugandans have already plead guilty to the suicide bombings. It has been confirmed that the Kenyan Government did organize Kimathi’s arrest before. This shows us that his arrest was the result of profiling and really was a symbol of the unfair treatment of radicals in Kenya. Kimathi was arrested without fair trial or evidence and that shows that he was profiled and framed into it.
