The High Court in Kampala has ordered the Ugandan police to produce two Kenyan activists, Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo, dead or alive, within the next seven days. This decision comes after the activists went missing for two weeks, sparking widespread concern and diplomatic tensions between Kenya and Uganda.
The activists were allegedly abducted while attending a political campaign event for Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine. The Ugandan police have denied any involvement in the abduction, stating they have no information on the activists’ whereabouts.
Justice Peter Kinobe’s ruling emphasizes the importance of upholding the constitutional rights of the two activists, who have been held incommunicado for 14 days. The court has taken a firm stance in demanding the production of the activists, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in their detention.
The case has raised concerns about human rights and the rule of law in Uganda, with many calling for the government to ensure the safe return of the activists. The Kenyan government has also been urged to take a more active role in securing the release of its citizens.
The situation remains tense, with ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure the release of the activists. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, and concerns have been raised about the implications of this case for human rights in the region.
The High Court’s ruling is a significant development in the case, and it remains to be seen how the Ugandan authorities will respond to the court’s orders. Will the government comply with the court’s ruling, or will the case escalate further?
