They were arrested on February 9 after detectives from Kilimani raided Chez Wou Restaurant in Nairobi suburb Kileleshwa
The Chinese citizens were arrested after a video of one of the supervisors canning a worker for allegedly reporting to work late went viral.
The victim told police that it was not an isolated incident, saying that other staffers had faced a similar ordeal.

Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Wu Peng has condemned the action of the suspect filmed caning the Kenya worker, saying all their nationals must abide by Kenyan laws
