Overview
- Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Minister Musalia Mudavadi said Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo were handed to the Kenyan ambassador and arrived home on Saturday.
- The activists say they were held and interrogated in a military facility guarded by Uganda’s Special Forces Command under inhumane conditions.
- They vanished on Oct. 1 after attending a Bobi Wine rally in Kampala, a detention Uganda initially denied before President Yoweri Museveni acknowledged it.
- Museveni alleged the two worked with opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi and called them “experts in riots,” while warning that protests would “end up badly.”
- Amnesty Kenya, Vocal Africa and the Law Society of Kenya welcomed the release and facilitated their transfer to Nairobi as concerns over cross-border abductions intensify.
