Comments on: UPDATE: Andrew Mwenda out on bond, must report to police http://blog.ted.com/2008/04/28/andrew_mwenda_o/ The TED Blog shares interesting news about TED, TEDTalks video, the TED Prize and more. Sat, 18 May 2013 19:52:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Bill BRE http://blog.ted.com/2008/04/28/andrew_mwenda_o/comment-page-1/#comment-736 Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog-staging.ted.com/2008/04/andrew_mwenda_o/#comment-736 Thanks for staying on top of this important story. I have contacted Ethan Zuckerman over at Global Voices Online about the arrest of Andrew Mwenda and I believe that they will be posting about it soon. Why would Uganda’s President Museveni and the Ugandan militrary and intelligence service want to crackdown on this accomplished, high-profile, outspoken editor/journalist? Dumb question.

Doesn’t the Government of Uganda realize that Andrew Mwenda has loads of friends and admirers around the world (thanks in no small part to TED Global Africa 2007) and that arresting and harrassing this journalist will unleash a wave of harsh criticism and condemnation?
