The High Court made an important decision today. It ordered six people to be freed right away. These people were reportedly kidnapped. Their names are Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, Billy Mwangi, Gideon Kibet, Rony Kiplangat, and Steve Kavingo.
Judge Bahati Mwamunye gave the order. He told the Inspector General of Police to bring the six to court on December 31. The IG's name is Douglas Kanja Kirocho. He must make sure the court order is followed. If he doesn't, he could be punished.
The court also said the police can't arrest or charge the six people. They need the court's okay first. The judge wants a government official to show up on January 3. This official has information about vehicles tied to the case.
The Law Society of Kenya, whose president is Faith Odhiambo, is watching closely. She says they will ensure the IG follows the court order and are ready to take action if he doesn't.
