A 100-year-old woman has been set free from a Kenyan prison after a national campaign for her release got to the government. BBC reports:
Margaret Ngima was jailed at Embu prison last week for contempt of court after failing to pay a fine of 100,000 Kenyan shillings (£780; $1,000).
The great-grandmother was accused of ignoring a court order in a land dispute with another family.
Her case caused outrage in Kenya, with her fine eventually paid for by Nairobi senator Mike Sonko.
The senator also sent what he described as a “rescue squad” to secure her release, one week into a three-month sentence.
