Aktivis Uganda Agather Atuhaire dan aktivis Kenya Boniface Mwangi ditahan di Tanzania dan kemudian dibebaskan setelah tuntutan dari pemerintah Kenya dan protes publik. Kedua aktivis dilaporkan ditinggalkan di titik perbatasan setelah dibebaskan, dengan Mwangi mengklaim bahwa dia disiksa selama penahanannya. Kejadian ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang perlakuan terhadap aktivis dan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia lintas batas di Afrika Timur. Pusat Penelitian Agora Uganda mengonfirmasi pembebasan Atuhaire, sementara pejabat Kenya memfasilitasi kepulangan Mwangi dan perawatan medis. Situasi ini menyoroti risiko yang terus dihadapi oleh aktivis di wilayah tersebut dan peran intervensi diplomatik.
