“Five young Kenyan men — including a popular cartoonist — who went missing just before the Christmas holidays have been found alive, family members and rights groups say. Kenya has been gripped by a wave of disappearances, with the state-funded rights group saying that over 80 people have been abducted in the last six months. The abductions generally target government critics and are widely believed to be the work of security agents, although the authorities have not admitted responsibility. … Amnesty International Kenya welcomed the releases and urged ‘the State to free all abductees and hold those responsible accountable.’ Two weeks ago the police denied responsibility for the abductions carried out by men in plain clothes across the country, some of which were captured on CCTV.” (01/06/25)
