§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Kenya concerning the fate of those designated by Amnesty International as prisoners of conscience, including George Anyona, Edward Oyugi, Ngotho Kariuki, Augustus Kathanga and Kanu and Caleb Mokaya Gichana; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WaldegraveWe have made representations on several occasions to the Government of Kenya urging the release of those detainees held without charge. It is our understanding that Messrs Anyona, Oyugi, Kariuki, Kathanga, and Gichana have now been charged in accordance with Kenyan law. The Kenyans are well aware of our concern for the maintenance of good human rights standards.
