June 1975 - Freedom! Then Masinde Is Arrested Again

June 1975 - Freedom! Then Masinde Is Arrested Again - Masinde with his lawyer outside a Kitale court where he appeared on a charge of leading an illegal society. The organisation, Dini Ya Musambwa, banned during the colonial period, was equally unpopular with the independence government. Elijah Masinde, leader of the the religious-political sect, Dini ya Musambwa, is one of the most intriguing figures in Kenya's history. A rebel, he not only unnerved the colonial powers, but caused consternation among politicians in independent Kenya. Arrested by both the settler government and Kenyatta's, he spent a great deal of his life in prison. Yet he remained underterred. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
