Kenya's Supreme Court has nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta's election win last month and called for new elections within 60 days, shocking a country that had been braced for further protests by opposition supporters.

By Christian Shepherd and Venus Wu BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) - Anyone who mocks China's national anthem faces up to 15 days in police detention after parliament criminalized such acts in a new law on Friday that covers Hong Kong and Macau.     Since taking over as president, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has ushered in new legislation aimed at securing the country from threats both within and outside its borders, besides presiding over a sweeping crackdown on dissent and free speech. Protecting "the dignity of the national anthem" will help "promote patriotism and nurture socialist core values", says the new law passed by the National People's Congress (NPC). The new law brings treatment of the anthem into line with desecration of China's national flag, or its emblem, which has been a criminal offense punishable by up to 15 days' detention since the 1990s.
