Kenyan activists abducted in Uganda, opposition leader says
Several Kenyan activists were reportedly abducted in Uganda, according to statements made by Kenyan opposition leader, John Doe. The activists were said to have been in Uganda for a human rights workshop when they were allegedly abducted by unknown individuals. The incident is said to have taken place on Tuesday, October 5th, in the city of Kampala.
John Doe, the opposition leader, has accused the Ugandan government of being behind the abductions, claiming that it is a deliberate attempt to silence dissenting voices and suppress activism in the region. He has called for the immediate release of the abducted activists and for a thorough investigation into the matter.

In a statement released by the Ugandan authorities, they have stated that they are not aware of any such incident occurring in the country and have offered to cooperate with Kenyan officials to investigate the matter further.
The identities of the abducted activists have not been disclosed at this time.
