Families of Missing Activists Issue Ultimatum as Abduction Cases Mount - June 2026

Families of missing activists Davis Lichuma, Macmillan Kiari, and Abdulaziz Molo have issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Kenyan government, threatening nationwide protests if their loved ones are not released. Human rights groups report over 100 individuals have been abducted during the tenure of the Kenya Kwanza government, with activists arrested during June 25th commemoration protests allegedly handed over to armed men for torture and abandoned across Nairobi. Six protesters arrested during a memorial march for Gen Z uprising victims were discovered severely tortured across Nairobi on Saturday, having been incommunicado since their arrest on Thursday. The family of missing young man Abdul Aziz is appealing for public assistance while police deny any involvement in his disappearance. Meanwhile, protests demanding the release of Abdiaziz Duba Molo, known as Zizo, entered their second day in Kiamaiko and Huruma, with demonstrators vowing to continue until he is found.
