Activist Davis Lichuma found alive at KNH days after going missing
Activist Davis Lichuma has been found alive days after he went missing.
In a statement on Sunday, June 28 night, the Social Justice Centres Working Group (SJCWG) announced that Lichuma was found at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
However, SJCWG noted that Lichuma was in a bad shape and was unable to speak at the time he was located at KNH.
“The Social Justice Centres Working Group (SJCWG) wishes to inform the public that Comrade Davis Lichuma has been found alive at Kenyatta National Hospital. While we are relieved that he has been located, we remain deeply concerned about his condition.
“At the time of his discovery, Comrade Lichuma was unable to speak, raising serious concerns about what he may have been subjected to during the period he was missing,” read the statement in part.
The organization has called for transparent investigations into the circumstances surrounding Lichuma’s disappearance.
SJCWG further demanded that those behind the alleged abduction of Lichuma be identified and held accountable.
“The fact that Comrade Lichuma has now been found does not erase the grave questions surrounding his disappearance.
“Those who abducted him and any state officers who may have been involved must be identified and held accountable in accordance with the law,” SJCWG stated.
