The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) has accused Presidents William Ruto of Kenya, Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania, and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda of overseeing a regional crackdown on dissent involving enforced disappearances and torture.

• The KHRC statement, dated June 29, links the leaders to alleged abductions and silencing of critics, citing specific incidents on June 25.
• Key individuals implicated include President William Ruto regarding seven Kenyan human rights defenders, President Samia Suluhu Hassan over an abduction in Tanzania, and President Yoweri Museveni and his son Muhoozi Kainerugaba in relation to a missing activist in Uganda.
• The commission demands an immediate end to enforced disappearances, the production of all disappeared persons, and the resignation of senior police officials in Kenya.
