| 33 suspects in Musa Mosque raid freed |
| 2014-02-13 |
[Shabelle] The State Tuesday evening withdrew robbery with violence and terrorism charges against 33 suspects captured during the February 2 storming of the controversial Musa Mosque but imposed stringent conditions for their release. The move was greeted with celebrations by the released suspects and their relatives who hired several matatus to ferry the former to town. The vehicles were hired by the Hassan Ali Joho Foundation, which also retained lawyer Mohammed Balala for the suspects. They are required to report to CID officers every Wednesday and stay out of crime because Section 87(a) of the Criminal Procedure Code under which they were set free indicates they could be retossed in the calaboosePlease don't kill me! and charged when the State gathers enough evidence to indict and prosecute them. The police have forwarded laptop computers, documents and electronic material seized in the February 2 raid for forensic analysis and decoding in Nairobi. |
