The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights has expressed alarm over the increasing cases of government critics being abducted in the country. Over the weekend, four individuals were reported missing, bringing the total number of abductions to 82 since the anti-government protests in June.
According to reports, four social media users went missing after sharing AI-generated images of President William Ruto that were considered offensive by government supporters. The rights commission has cautioned that Kenya may be regressing to the dark days of government critics disappearing, a phenomenon that was prevalent during the administration of the late President Daniel Moi.
