Kenya: Amnesty Demands Disclosure of Whereabouts of Abducted Businessman Amid Deportation Fears
Amnesty International Kenya is demanding answers after businessman Athorbey Al Gaddhaffy Dit, a Kenyan-South Sudanese citizen, was reportedly abducted in Nairobi early Wednesday morning.
The human rights organization has called for his whereabouts to be disclosed immediately, raising urgent concerns about what may have happened to him since he was taken.
Adding to the alarm, Amnesty has flagged fears that Al Gaddhaffy Dit could be at risk of deportation, a prospect that has sharpened calls for transparency from the authorities.
This case puts a spotlight on a troubling pattern that civil society groups in Kenya have long warned about. The question now is whether anyone in a position of authority will speak up before it is too late.
