Tanzanian Activist Twaha Mwaipaya Allegedly Abducted by Armed Men in Machakos

Tanzanian activist Twaha Mwaipaya was allegedly abducted at around 2 p.m. in Kamulu, Machakos County, while travelling by taxi to visit friends. Amnesty International said the individuals involved were travelling in three vehicles, including a Toyota Land Cruiser Hardtop. Activist Maria Sarungi confirmed his disappearance and urged Kenyan authorities to increase checks, particularly at the Namanga border, to help locate him. Mwaipaya has coordinated youth mobilization for CHADEMA since 2019 and has criticized police abuses while calling for a new constitution in Tanzania.
