Notable Tanzanian activist and editor Maria Sarungi Tsehai was abducted by armed men in Nairobi on Sunday, and released on an isolated road after approximately four hours.
At a press conference on Monday, Tsehai, an outspoken critic of Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan's authoritarian tendencies who fled to Kenya in 2020 seeking asylum after facing increasing threats from the government of the late President John Magufuli (whose deputy was Suluhu), revealed she had been mistreated, shouted at, and choked by her unknown assailants.
