An American Citizen, Yoeal Haile held at Nairobi’s Capitol Hill police station since late last week was released on Sunday.

According to Citizen Digital, Haile was arrested and held under unclear circumstances, with the police reportedly refusing to release him, allow bail, or charge him in court.



Amnesty International Kenya is among the parties concerned about Haile’s arrest. The rights organisation on Saturday said an OCS at the station had denied a bail or bond request.

CNN Journalist Larry Madowo said Haile had been detained for the third day as of Sunday.
