Three arrested in Kenya as backlash grows over period strip-search

Police take action as activists, politicians and the company involved all condemn tactics used by managers investigating who put sanitary towel in wrong bin

Three senior managers from a Kenyan dairy company have been arrested over allegations of indecent assault after they forced a group of female employees to undress in order to find out which of them was on their period.

The incident, which happened last week at Brown's Food Company's dairy factory in Limuru, in central Kenya, followed failed attempts by the managers - all three of whom are women - to find out who had put a sanitary towel in the wrong bin.
