Two Kenyan activists were abducted by Ugandan security forces after attending a rally for opposition leader Bobi Wine, a rights group said Thursday.
In May, Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan activist Agather Atuhaire say they were abducted and tortured for days by security forces in Tanzania.
The head of Kenyan rights group VOCAL Africa, Hussein Khalid, told AFP they had been unable to reach the men, saying his group believed they were “taken by security officers”.
“It’s worrying that the three states may be working together to suppress the freedoms in the region.”Njagi has previously said he was also abducted by Kenyan security forces last year over his involvement in anti-government protests.
Another Ugandan opposition leader, Kizza Besigye, was kidnapped in Kenya last year and smuggled back to Uganda to face trial for treason.
