"Twaha’s case unfolds against a continuing wave of abductions, illegal crossborder renditions, enforced
disappearances, secret detention and torture in Kenya over the past year.
In June, seven protesters —
Ojiro Odhiambo, Michael Ngige, Muteti Mulinge, Collins Ochieng, Elijah Alam, Christine Walubengo
and Davis Lichuma — were arrested by state security forces, removed from police custody, handed to
security operatives and subjected to torture and detention in undisclosed facilities.
Through July and August, families pursued court intervention over the enforced disappearances of
Macmillan Kiarie Mugo, Evans Otieno Omondi, Michael Oloo Osoro and Abdulaziz Duba Molu, amid
evidence of security personnel involvement.
Despite a multitude of efforts, they remain disappeared to
date.
In September, armed men abducted Standard Group associate editor Alex Kiprotich, who was
subsequently found abandoned in Masinga.
These cases reveal the breadth of the danger: protesters, community members, journalists and exiled
activists. Evidence implicating security agents requires independent investigation and immediate
prosecution. Official denials cannot substitute for finding the disappeared and delivering justice," Human Rights Defenders Kelvin Simba @KMorara86222, reads part of the statement as he condemns the abduction of Tanzanian activist Twaha Mwaipaya.

Thank you to everyone who participated, and to our partners @Mizizi_Africa NextUp Network, and @siasaplace for making the day special. We’re grateful to have contributed to the conversation building safer, stronger, and more connected communities
On Saturday, we joined the Try Again Project for an exciting day of women’s rugby, community, and connection. As the Usichochwe na AI team from Kumbi, we also held an important conversation on AI generated misinformation.
The Try Again Project uses rugby to support children in approved schools, high schools, and the general community, nurturing resilience, inclusion, personal growth, and positive connections. The event showed how sport brings people together while creating space to discuss issues.
AI is changing how we consume information.
At the Usichochwe na AI dialogue, we explored how to spot fake images, videos and audio and why verification matters, especially as elections approach.
Pause. Check. Verify. Then share. 💙

Artificial Intelligence is not here to replace your potential; it’s an opportunity to unlock it!
In a world that is constantly evolving, young people must learn to embrace AI, explore its possibilities, and use it to solve real-world challenges.

We need to re-run videos from 2007/2008 post election violence. We have forgotten what violence can do to a country. What is going on in this country if not stopped will burn it to the ground

Let me say this: Halima Ngache has been arrested simply because the govt feels she is related to an X account posting details on sensitive movements. One of the main accounts posting President Ruto’s movements is Sholla Ard.
But why is the govt so afraid? The president is protected by the best security, how can a common mwananchi harm him? Furthermore, everything posted is open source. You can find flight details on FlightRadar and plane hex codes right here on X!
BTW, Halima is an orphan. For the state to hunt her down over public data is completely wrong. We have to stand with her. Justice For Halima Ngache
Arrested in public. Never booked in the Occurrence Book. Days later, found abandoned on roadsides and in bushes, alleging torture and brutal beatings.
How many more promises to investigate before there is accountability? Kenyans deserve justice, not endless commitments. #EndEnforcedDisappearances #JusticeForOurFallen
KTN has obtained information on an alleged chain of abductions within the country’s security systems, including details of a secret unit reportedly designated to deal with individuals deemed problematic to the government.

I'm so heartbroken. We had a peaceful protest demanding the release of Maxi and Zizou. 3 people have been shot by police. 1 confirmed dead. And PS Omollo has held a presser alleging Maxi na Zizou have locked themselves in the house. Hatuezi endelea hivi!💔💔 we will be back!!!
