A Kenyan judge on Thursday rescinded the Kenyan government’s order to deport an opposition politician over his participation in the mock inauguration of opposition leader Raila Odinga. Earlier this month, the Kenyan government sent dual Kenyan-Canadian citizen Miguna Miguna to Canada after holding him for days in a detention center. Miguna attended last month’s mock inauguration, during which Odinga took an oath as the “people’s president” to protest President Uhuru Kenyatta’s leadership.

The Kenyan government has deported an opposition lawyer who witnessed last week’s mock inauguration of opposition leader Raila Odinga. Kenyan authorities arrested Miguna Miguna on Friday and charged him with treason despite court orders demanding his release. “The illegitimate, despotic regime … forcefully placed me on a late night KLM flight from Nairobi to Amsterdam in flagrant violation of my constitutional rights, five court orders, and common decency,” Miguna said in a statement. He added he would challenge the deportation in court.

The Kenyan government on Wednesday cracked down on opposition officials after opposition leader Raila Odinga staged a mock presidential inauguration. Tens of thousands of his supporters gathered in a Nairobi park Tuesday to witness Odinga’s “swearing-in” as “the people’s president.” Incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta officially began his second term in November, but opponents have rejected his presidency on grounds of election abuses. The Kenyan government cut live transmission of the ceremony by the country’s top three television stations and threatened to revoke their licenses.
