Why British Authorities Held Miguna Miguna at Heathrow Airport in London
National Resistance Movement self-declared general Miguna Miguna claims that British authorities blocked him from entering the country when he arrived at Heathrow International Airport in London on Thursday.
Speaking during an interview with BBC on Friday, Miguna divulged that he was stopped at the airport by police on claims of being a terrorist.
The firebrand lawyer claimed that Kenyan authorities had communicated with their British counterparts to stop him from entering London for his global tour to sell NRM.
“In fact yesterday, they even communicated to the British authorities to stop me at Heathrow International Airport-and they actually did," Miguna divulged.
He added:" The Special Branch came to me and gave me a document which they called schedule 7 terrorism act 2000 1930-1940 telling me that the Kenyan authorities told them am a terrorist.” Miguna stated."
In the document, Miguna said, Kenyan authorities alleged that he was "travelling all over the world to plan terrorist activities”.
He was, however, later allowed to enter after being held for sometime at the airport and proceeded to deliver a public lecture to his supporters at Oxford University.
Speaking at the same interview, the former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant further demanded for protection from Jubilee government, which he maintained was "illegitimate."
“Please ensure that the illegitimate government fully complies with the court orders so as to avoid what appears as a pre-planned continued violation of my rights,” he said.
“I was forcefully removed from Kenya. That was not a deportation. There was no deportation order. This was an arbitrary, whimsical, dictatorial fiat by a despotic regime,” he said.
“I am still a Kenyan citizen and you cannot take that away from me… and the court told them that,” he added.
Miguna is set to land in Kenya on Monday at 10.30 am.
