Kenyan activists missing in Uganda found safe after five weeks
A group of Kenyan activists who went missing in Uganda has been found safe after five weeks. The activists, including three men and two women, had traveled to Uganda to attend a human rights workshop in Kampala. However, they disappeared on their way back to Kenya, raising concerns about their safety and whereabouts.
The activists were reportedly detained by Ugandan authorities who accused them of inciting violence and destabilizing the government. The Ugandan government claimed that the activists were part of a broader conspiracy to spread unrest in the country. However, the activists denied these allegations, stating that they were simply exercising their right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.
After weeks of uncertainty and diplomatic negotiations between Kenya and Uganda, the activists were finally released and allowed to return to their home country. Both governments have remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the case, leading to speculation about the true reasons behind the activists’ detention and eventual release.
The activists have expressed relief and gratitude for being found safe and are now calling for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding their disappearance in Uganda. They have vowed to continue their work advocating for human rights and social justice in both Kenya and Uganda.
Overall, the resolution of this case highlights the challenges faced by activists in the region and the importance of international cooperation in ensuring their safety and protection.
