Detention of over 70 persons, Kenyans and non-Kenyans. During the month of January 2007, about 70 individuals of Kenyan and other nationalities were arrested by units of the Kenyan Police apparently for terrorism-related reasons. A significant number of these individuals have been held or continue to be held incommunicado. Information has been received about Bashir Ahmed Makhtal, a 42-year-old Canadian citizen, born in Dagahbur, Ogaden, Abdi Abdulahi Osman, a 41-year-old Somali citizen, born in Gunagado, Dagahbur, Ogaden, Ali Afi Jama, a 33-year-old Somali citizen, born in Godey, Ogaden and Hussein Aw Nuur Gurraase, 35-yearold Somali citizen, born in Gunagado, Ogaden, all trading in second-hand clothing. On 31 December 2006, the four men were arrested by Kenyan authorities, who suspected them to be terrorists. The arrests were conducted on the basis of provisions of an anti-terror bill which has not yet been adopted. The four men were held in custody for three weeks without official charges. For two weeks the authorities interrogated them in the absence of lawyers, or Canadian Embassy officials for Mr. Makhtal. He was denied access to the Canadian High Commission for the first two weeks, and only on 15 January 2007, was he granted a brief meeting with a Canadian High Government response
