Kenya has deported opposition supporter and lawyer, Miguna Miguna, following his role in the unofficial swearing-in of opposition leader, Raila Odinga as “the people’s president.”
Mr. Miguna has boarded a flight to take him to Canada, where he is a citizen, the BBC reports.
His departure came after he was charged with treason-related offences.
Kenya’s Chief Justice, David Maraga, has criticised the government for not following court orders to release Mr. Miguna on bail.
“Compliance with court orders is not optional, but a constitutional obligation,” Mr. Maraga said in a statement.
The government had earlier ignored court demands to lift a suspension on Kenyan TV channels, which it took off-air ahead of Mr. Odinga’s “inauguration.”
Mr. Odinga boycotted last year’s election re-run, saying it would be rigged in favour of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He and his supporters consider him the rightful leader of Kenya.
