 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Thousands of opposition supporters and human rights activists demonstrated in Nairobi on Tuesday to protest against last week's raids on Kenya's oldest newspaper and its sister television station.
It was the first time since Kenya's 1963 independence that the government shut down major media operations. The country's media have been reporting on corruption scandals swirling around President Mwai Kibaki, who has been seen as increasingly politically isolated.
Waving placards and shouting that Internal Security Minister John Michuki "must go," about 3,000 demonstrators walked peacefully through the Kenyan capital.
