Miguna Miguna Sues Emirates Airlines, KAA over Illegal Detention, Torture
Deported Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna says he has filed a suit against the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and Emirates Airlines.
Miguna says he has sued the two companies over illegal detention, harassment and torture.
"As I mark one year in forced exile, I've today filed a lawsuit against Kenya Airport Authority and Fly Emirates for unlawful detention, assault, battery, torture, and sedation. Although KNCHR and my advocates have refused to enforce court orders in my favour, I'll return," Miguna says in a tweet on Thursday.
Miguna was arrested and deported to Canada days after he administered an 'oath' of office to Opposition leader Raila Odinga during a mock swearing-in ceremony held at Uhuru Park grounds on January 3th, 2018.
The Immigration Department said Miguna is a Canadian citizen and was in the country illegally.
Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa said Miguna ceased being a Kenyan citizen after he acquired a Canadian passport in 1988.
Attempts to return to Kenya in March 2018 were futile as he was detained at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) before being bundled out of the country aboard an Fly Emirates flight.

Jobless Miguna Miguna is trying to get money from all means. Odunga and Chacha Mwita are no longer in Nairobi.
Ilikuwakuwaje Ndugu Miguna Miguna akaruhusiwa kugombea kiti cha ugavana wa Kaunti ya Nairobi kama hakuwa Mkenya?
Hii ni dhahiri (evident) ya kwamba, Ndugu WAFULA CHEBUKATi hafai kusimamia tume ya uchaguzi Kenya.
Ajabu, Ndugu Matiang'i anawezaje kudharau amri kutoka kwenye mahakma kuu ya Kenya halafu aendelee kufanya kazi na serikali? Kabla hajatii maagizo aliyopewa na korti, yafaa aondolewe kazini mara moja. HAFAI! Pia nduguye Kihalangwa yafaa naye atimuliwe kutoka kazini.
Katika Kenya mpya ya 2022, hakuna mwananchi yeyote atakayekuwa juu ya sheria za Kenya.
MM, the higher power sure loves you. The energy you radiate despite the crap you have endured. Some would have by now given up, gone to deep depression....Good luck, but still can't understand why you can't dual nationalise, then return and fight your battles from inside? Having said that, the true unsung heroin is your WIFE, for we can only imagine what it must be like to live with your character. No hate, just awe at the work of God.....complex humans, as varied in character, resilience and personalities as they come. Mhhh..
Go away, already!!!!!
