Amnesty: Kenya forcibly deported South Sudanese whistleblower

A South Sudanese whistleblower was abducted in Nairobi and forcibly deported to a military detention facility in Juba, Amnesty International reported.

Athorbey Al-Gaddhaffy-Dit, a fifty-one-year-old activist holding dual Kenyan citizenship, had long warned that his life was in imminent danger.

The outspoken dissident frequently exposed deep-seated corruption linked directly to the powerful, heavily entrenched ruling elite of South Sudan.

His chilling disappearance underscores a deeply alarming trend of transnational repression operating with apparent impunity across East Africa.

Multiple foreign activists and opposition figures have recently been snatched from Kenyan soil and returned to hostile regimes.

Human rights advocates now fear for his safety as he remains silenced behind the heavily fortified walls of Juba.
