Kenyan Activist's Fate Uncertain After Tanzania Detention

Kenyan Activist's Detention in Tanzania Sparks Outrage: Family Pleads for Release Nairobi, Kenya – The family of Boniface Mwangi, a prominent Kenyan activist, is desperately seeking his release after his reported detention in Tanzania. Mwangi's wife, Njeri Mwangi, appeared in a video expressing her anguish and frustration at the lack of information from both the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments. "They are joking with Kenyans," she stated, her voice choked with emotion. "They should release him." The video shows Njeri Mwangi visiting the Tanzanian High Commission in Nairobi, along with other family members and supporters, to demand answers about her husband's whereabouts. Their efforts, however, have been met with silence. The Tanzanian government spokesperson, Gerson Msegwa, has denied that Mwangi is in custody, claiming that all Kenyans denied entry have been repatriated. This statement contradicts reports from the family and independent sources. The incident has raised concerns about freedom of speech and cross-border cooperation. The video highlights the emotional toll on Mwangi's family and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his fate. The case underscores the need for transparency and accountability in such situations.
