 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

Kenneth Iwamasa, the longtime personal assistant to Friends star Matthew Perry, has been sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the actor’s overdose death. 


Prosecutors said Iwamasa, who had no medical training, repeatedly injected Perry with ketamine and worked with two doctors to supply more than $50,000 worth of the drug in the weeks leading up to Perry’s death in October 2023. 


He pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, facing a maximum of 15 years. Alongside prison time, he was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and serve two years of supervised release.


During sentencing, Iwamasa apologized directly to Perry’s family, admitting regret for his actions and saying he hoped to serve as a cautionary tale. 


Perry’s relatives submitted letters to the court condemning Iwamasa, with his sisters arguing he was more culpable than other defendants and accusing him of abandoning Perry in a vulnerable state. 


His mother, Suzanne Morrison, said Iwamasa had been trusted to protect her son in his battle with addiction but instead facilitated illegal drug use, ultimately contributing to Perry’s death.


Medical officials ruled Perry’s death was caused by the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning listed as a contributing factor. 


Iwamasa was the last of five defendants sentenced in the case, which prosecutors said involved individuals exploiting Perry’s addiction for profit. 


Others received penalties ranging from home detention to lengthy prison terms, including Jasveen Sangha, dubbed the “Ketamine Queen,” who was sentenced to 15 years. 


Despite the tragedy, Perry’s family has emphasized that their focus remains on honoring his legacy while holding accountable those who enabled his addiction.
