Albert Ojwang died after hitting his head against a cell wall in custody, police say.

He had been detained "for false publication" and driven 350km ( 220 miles ) to Nairobi , his father says.

Amnesty International calls for independent investigators to investigate his death.

It is not clear what the charge of "false publication" referred to.
