Activist
Boniface Mwangi was Thursday morning deported from Tanzania by road and dumped
in Ukunda in Kwale County.
He
was rushed to a Diani hospital for a medical review after preliminary
observation indicated he looked injured and frail.
“We have a picture sent to us showing he is
injured and frail. He is okay under medical review,” said a family member.
His
family said they were informed he was injured and looked frail.
Earlier,
Prime Cabinet Secretary, who is also the Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi, confirmed that Mwangi had been released by authorities in
Tanzania.
Mwangi’s
release follows mounting public pressure and diplomatic engagement, with Kenyan
citizens threatening protests outside the Tanzanian High Commission in Nairobi.
He
had been missing since Monday, when he flew to the East African nation to
attend the court hearing of opposition figure Tundu Lissu.
