Ugandan activist Agather Atuhaire found dumped at Tanzania border
Activist Agather Atuhaire, who was arrested and detained in Tanzania earlier this week, has reportedly been found.
According to Ugandan media outlets, Atuhaire was found dumped near the Mutukula border of Tanzania and Uganda.
Atuhaire was arrested alongside Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi on Monday after travelling to Dar es Salaam in solidarity with Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu who was to stand trial for treason.
According to Mwangi, was who was released on Thursday and dumped at the Horohoro border of Kenya and Tanzania, the two ended up victims of what he described as a politically motivated and inhumane ordeal.
He narrated that the last time he was in the same space as Atuhaire was on the morning of Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
“We had been tortured, and we were told to strip naked and to go bathe. We couldn’t walk and were told to crawl and go wash off the blood,” Mwangi said. “We were handcuffed and blindfolded, so I didn’t even see her, but I heard her groaning in pain as they barked orders at us.”

He added: “Any attempt to speak to each other during the night we were tortured was met with kicks and insults. We were removed from the torture location in different vehicles.”
Mwangi claims that the torture was orchestrated by a Tanzanian state security officer who followed them from Immigration offices to the Central Police Station and ordered their removal to a secret location for what was termed as “Tanzanian treatment.”
“That man assaulted me in the presence of three lawyers from Tanganyika Law Society and identifying him might help us find where Agather is being kept,” he said.
“He scared the three lawyers, and they left us at Central Police Station, where we were removed while handcuffed and blindfolded.”
