The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has reportedly refused to intervene in the alleged abduction of Kenyan activist Mwabili Mwagodi in Tanzania, citing jurisdictional limitations. Mwagodi, known for his "Occupy the Church" campaign, was seized by unknown individuals on Wednesday, July 23, in Dar es Salaam.

• Amnesty International and other human rights organizations have expressed deep alarm, calling for urgent investigations by both Kenyan and Tanzanian governments.
• Hussein Khalid, CEO of Vocal Africa and a human rights defender, accompanied Mwagodi's family to the DCI offices on Saturday, July 26, confirming the agency's refusal to take up the case.
• The abduction follows similar incidents involving Kenyan photojournalist and activist Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan journalist Agather Atuhaire, whose cases are before the East African Court of Justice.
