The Nairobi appeals court overturned Fitzpatrick’s conviction of Hussen.

Evidence

After some days in jail, the prisoner appealed his conviction. His case was taken up by a white officer from the Justice Department who interviewed Hussen about what had happened in Qalafo. The judge in the appeals court in Nairobi threw out the case, and Hussen was released. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 209
