You might think that Prime Ministers Questions in the House of Commons on a Wednesday afternoon are rowdy enough, but some members of the Kenyan parliament showed yesterday that they can be just as unruly. Controversial anti-terror legislation was passed amidst interruptions, fist fighting and jeers. Human rights groups in the country are vowing to contest the new laws.

Joining John Rees to discuss the latest are Amandla Thomas-Johnson, spokesman for the human rights advocacy group CAGE (formerly Cage Prisoners); and Hassan Kochore, a researcher and analyst on northern Kenya and the Horn of Africa.
