Three rights organisations have appealed to foreign embassies in Nairobi to intervene in the alleged enforced disappearance of Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oyoo in Uganda.

Amnesty International, VOCAL Africa and the Law Society of Kenya have written to multiple diplomatic missions, including those of the US, UK, EU, Germany, France and Canada, seeking assistance in securing the release of the two activists, who were reportedly abducted in Kampala on October 1.
