Three human rights organizations—The Law Society of Kenya, Vocal Africa, and Amnesty International Kenya—have called for urgent action and transparency following the reported abduction of two Kenyan activists in Kampala, Uganda.
In a media advisory issued ahead of a scheduled press briefing on Monday, the groups revealed that Bob Njagi, Chair of the FreeKenya Movement, and Nicholas Oyoo, the Movement’s Secretary General, were allegedly abducted on October 1 by unidentified individuals in plain clothes.
Eyewitness accounts suggest the men did not disclose their identities or reasons for detaining the activists.
Njagi and Oyoo had traveled to Uganda to engage with civil society groups supporting the campaign of opposition figure Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine.
Since their disappearance, their mobile phones have remained switched off, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
The briefing is set to take place today at 2:30 p.m. at the Rex Masai Assembly Hall, located at Amnesty International Kenya’s offices on Lenana Road, Nairobi.
Organizers say the event will shed light on the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and outline steps being taken to secure the activists’ release.
“This is not just a matter of cross-border concern—it’s a test of our regional commitment to human rights and civic freedoms,” said Mathias T. Kinyoda, Amnesty International Kenya’s spokesperson, who urged authorities in both countries to act swiftly.
The incident has sparked alarm among civil society actors across East Africa, with calls mounting for diplomatic engagement and accountability.
