How Did This Kenyan Rights Activist Vanish Without a Trace?

Dandora community has held a vigil for Caroline Mwatha, a founder member and caseworker with Dandora Community Social Justice Centre, who has been missing for almost a week. Mwatha had been documenting extrajudicial killings and her group had been at crosshairs with the police. Governor Mike Sonko has also joined the call for the human rights defender to be found and offered a cash reward for information.
