FIVE Missing Activists Dumped By The Roadside In Nairobi, ONE Still Missing
Five of the six human rights activists who went missing after Thursday’s protests have been recovered and transported to the hospital, according to the rights group Vocal Africa.
According to the group, the activists have been located and are receiving medical treatment after going missing for more than 24 hours following their detention near Parliament buildings.
Human rights organisations, including the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), expressed worry on Friday after the six remained unaccounted for despite trips to multiple police stations in Nairobi.

We are raising a grave concern regarding six individuals who were violently arrested within the areas of Parliament yesterday. More than 24 hours have passed since their arrest, and authorities have failed to arraign them in any court of law, in direct violation of constitutional… pic.twitter.com/AnJkbqtSdK— VOCAL Africa (@VOCALAfrica_) June 26, 2026
They were later taken to Central Police Station in Nairobi, where activists say officers refused to book them in the station records.
They were reportedly moved from the station later on Thursday to an undisclosed location.
It remains unclear whether the six were included in the 355 arrests announced by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen during a briefing on Thursday evening.
On Friday, a Nairobi court released more than 200 of those arrested on a Ksh1,000 cash bail, following legal intervention by civil society lawyers.
