Member of the Rastafarians society of Kenya showcases sample of cannabis seeds in Milimani High Court/LEAH MUKANGAIMembers of the Rastafarian community have expressed frustration after security personnel barred them from bringing cannabis seeds into court as part of their evidence in an ongoing petition. The petitioners’ lawyers told the court that the seeds were intended as evidence to demonstrate the nature of spiritual and religious practices tied to their community. They also noted that any claims of harassment should be backed by proper evidence before the court could issue orders. "The last time you gave orders that the court will not give orders without evidence. If they wish the court to issue orders, they should file a formal application," state counsel Christopher Marwa submitted, warning that the move risked derailing the hearing of the matter.
