Haki Africa head Khalid Hussein described the ruling as bittersweet.

The court case has attracted much attention in Mombasa.

Last month, the accounts of Haki Africa and Muslims for Human Rights (MHR) were frozen on the orders of the central bank and The Commission on Financial Regulation.

The NGOs have accused security agents of being behind the recent assassination of several radical Muslim preachers around Mombasa.

Kenyan officials deny involvement in the killings.
