Kenya police 'to deport' British journalist detained at airport
NAIROBI- Kenyan police plan to deport a British journalist working for The Times after holding him nearly 24 hours without charge or access to a legal representative, his lawyer said on Friday.
"I have not been able to speak to him since they took away his phones," said lawyer George King, who is acting on behalf of Jerome Starkey.
"I understand they will deport him," he said, citing a conversation with Starkey before the journalist's phones were removed.
Starkey has been held since getting off an international flight on Thursday night and has not been allowed to meet his lawyer. It was unclear why he was being detained.
