Recent weeks have seen a series of alarming incidents in Kenya, where activists have been targeted by government security forces following their opposition to a controversial tax bill. The activists were involved in organizing a blood drive for wounded protesters, participating in antigovernment protests, or voicing their dissent against the tax legislation.
Reports reveal that at least 32 individuals, including activists, medical workers, and social media influencers, have been either abducted or arbitrarily detained by armed men in balaclavas and unmarked vehicles. These abductions often occur at night, with victims being blindfolded, beaten, and interrogated about their participation in protests.
According to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the antigovernment protests resulted in the deaths of at least 39 people during clashes with the police in June. The crackdown on activists signifies a concerning trend of suppressing dissent in the country.
