Albert Ojwang was arrested from his home in Migori County. In broad daylight. In front of his father and other relatives. There were no guns drawn, no resistance offered. He was calm. He believed in the rule of law. When the police accused him of “false publication,” he cooperated. Like any responsible citizen, he trusted that justice would run its course—that he would be given his day in court, and that he would return home to his wife and child. And to his students. Instead, Mr Ojwang ended up dead. In the custody of Central Police Station officers.
