An activist detained in Tanzania for three days was freed after Kenya’s foreign ministry intervened. Boniface Mwangi, a prominent Kenyan activist, was detained alongside Ugandan lawyer Agather Atuhaire while observing opposition leader Tundu Lissu’s court hearing. Atuhaire and Mwangi were part of an East African delegation, raising concerns over their prolonged custody by Tanzanian immigration authorities. With President Samia Suluhu warning against “foreign interference,” tensions escalate amidst opposition leader Lissu’s treason charges, deemed politically motivated by his supporters. Questions arise over the treatment of foreign observers amidst the regional turmoil.
