Kenya TV stations still off air despite court order
The television channels went dark at 10:00 a.m. (2:00 a.m. ET) Tuesday -- a move not seen in the country for years.
A court ordered the government Thursday to restore all transmissions immediately pending a February 14 court hearing challenging the decision to shut down the television stations. The channels have continued to stream online throughout the blackout.
Before Thursday's ruling, the Interior Ministry had said the networks would remain dark while authorities investigate the "serious breach of security" after the stations aired footage of crowds gathering for the event.
