The National Coalition of Human Rights Defenders has demanded an independent investigation into the alleged abduction, secret detention and torture of two human rights defenders, Boniface Mulinge Muteti and Collins Otieno, who were arrested in Nairobi's Central Business District on 21 September 2026 during demonstrations calling for the release of Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye.

An opinion piece argues that recent abductions and torture of human rights activists in Kenya—including Collins Otieno and Mulinge Muteti following protests over Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye's detention—represent a dangerous normalization of extrajudicial violence that violates citizens' constitutional rights to assemble and protest.
Activist Collins Otieno, who had been missing after participating in protests over the detention of Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye, was found dumped along Thika Road early on Saturday and taken to Neema Uhai Hospital in Kasarani. According to Vocal Africa's Hussein Khalid, Otieno was discovered by a boda boda rider at about 4:30am and is disoriented, weak, and injured.
Human rights activist Collins Otieno was found dumped on Thika Road early Saturday morning, three days after being reported missing. He was rescued by a boda boda rider and taken to hospital, where medical review confirmed fractures on both legs and visible burn marks; a fellow activist, Boniface Mulinge Muteti, was also found alive around the same time.
Kiiza Eron, representing opposition leader Dr Kizza Besigye, has called on President William Ruto to use Kenya's diplomatic channels to seek Besigye's unconditional release and medical evacuation. Eron also called for an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Besigye's transfer, citing Kenya's prior cooperation with Ugandan authorities.
Activist Boniface Mulinge Muteti, who disappeared after protests in Nairobi over Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye's detention, was found dumped in the Lukenya area early Friday and walked to a Shell petrol station to seek help. He was taken to Lifecare Hospital in Mlolongo, where he is receiving treatment and described as disoriented, weak, and injured.
Activist Mulinge Muteti went missing two days after leaving a protest calling for the release of Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye to print a petition at a cybercafe; he was allegedly abducted by people believed to be security officers, and his family has reported his disappearance to police.
Four men arrested during Saba Saba protests were released on cash bail of Ksh2,000 each after being arraigned on charges of obstructing motor vehicle operations on roads in Nairobi. The defence argued the arrests violated High Court directives governing police conduct at demonstrations.
A coalition of human rights defenders and youth leaders announced plans to march to Parliament on Saba Saba (July 7) to present a petition demanding action against extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and police brutality. Activists have expressed concerns about violent police crackdowns and alleged infiltration attempts, while calling for peaceful and lawful demonstrations.
