The Disappearance of Boniface Mwangi and Agatha Atuhaire Sparks Global Outcry.

In a recent turn of events that has shaken the human rights community, activist Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan lawyer and journalist Agatha Atuhaire have gone missing despite deportation allegations by Tanzanian authorities.

The CEO of VOCAL Africa, Hussein Khalid, has raised serious concerns over the disappearance of these two prominent figures, calling for their immediate release.Despite reports claiming that Mwangi and Atuhaire had been deported from Tanzania on May 20, efforts to locate them in Dar es Salaam have proven futile.

Khalid, in a statement, expressed the organization’s frustration in trying to track down the duo through various channels, including airlines and legal avenues in Tanzania. The lack of information surrounding their whereabouts has sparked fear and uncertainty among their supporters and fellow activists.

Khalid’s plea to the Tanzanian government to release Mwangi and Atuhaire back to their respective countries without delay has fallen on deaf ears. The human rights defender emphasized the urgency of the situation, warning that any harm that comes to the two individuals will be held against President Suluhu Hassan personally.

The demand for their immediate return has been echoed by human rights advocates and legal experts, who have joined forces in the search for answers.The President of the Tanganyika Law Society, Boniface Mwabukusi, confirmed the deportation of Mwangi and Atuhaire, stating that they were deported under the supervision of Tanzanian immigration officers.

The circumstances surrounding their arrest and subsequent deportation have raised questions about the adherence to regional treaties and human rights conventions by East African countries.Mwangi’s trip to Tanzania to attend the trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu turned into a nightmare when he was detained on allegations of providing false information for entry into the country.

The ordeal faced by Mwangi and Atuhaire serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by activists and journalists in their pursuit of justice and accountability.As the search for Mwangi and Atuhaire continues, the global community stands in solidarity with their families and colleagues, demanding transparency and accountability from the Tanzanian authorities.
