The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights last week raised concern about a growing number of alleged kidnappings of government critics, saying that the total number of such cases stands at 82 since antigovernment protests started in June.
Protesters demonstrated against what they say is a wave of unexplained abductions of government critics, with opposition lawmaker Okiya Omtatah leading a sit-in, advocating for rights and justice.
Kenyan authorities have insisted that the government does not condone or engage in extrajudicial killings or abductions, despite ongoing protests and claims from rights groups.
The ongoing demonstrations have evolved into a movement that transcends Kenya's traditional ethnic divisions, posing a significant challenge to President William Ruto's government.
