Kenya
The political situation following the election in December, which lead to violent riots in Kenya, has increased pressure on Kenyan media professionals. Journalists are being arrested, others have been shot at while covering the riots and a wave of death threats has been launched against journalists and human rights advocates. Together with Editor's Guild of Kenya and Kenya Association of Journalists and international NGOs, IMS is actively engaging in supporting Kenyan media.

It's not lack of police officers that has given Nairobi its nick name 'Nairobbery'. Most of them however are traffic police and appear to be less focused on stopping muggers and robberies than on pulling over cars and matatus (minibuses) at random. They'll look for missing papers or a broken taillight and threaten to take the driver to the police station - or suggest "taking care of the matter here and then".
