Amnesty Kenya has called on the East African Court of Justice to launch an independent investigation into the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments following the alleged abduction of Kenyan activist Mwabili Mwagodi in Tanzania.
In a statement on Sunday, July 27, hours after the activist was found dumped in the coastal region, Amnesty claimed that the court should ensure that the court should take the lead in spearheading investigations and taking legal action against all those responsible for the abduction of the activists.
According to Amnesty, the silence projected by the executive and judicial systems of Kenya and Tanzania into Mwabili Mwagodi's abduction and other abduction cases that have happened in the recent past does not create an ideal environment for the two countries to spearhead legal action.
Amnesty further claims that the court should also ensure that all activists in the two countries, who are at risk of abduction, are well protected.
