Activist Davis Lichuma has been found alive after allegedly being abducted, tortured and abandoned, according to the Social Justice Centres Working Group.

According to the group, Lichuma was discovered in critical condition after allegedly being dumped at Kenyatta National Hospital.

The organisation and its other colleagues claimed Lichuma had been subjected to severe torture during the period he was missing.

At the same time, the group called for an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, demanding that those responsible should face the law.

“We will not accept silence, cover-ups or excuses. An injury to one is an injury to all,” read part of the statement.

In addition, the human rights activists noted that Kenyans deserve answers on who allegedly abducted Lichuma, where he was held, and who ordered his torture.

He was unable to explain where he had been since Thursday June 25, 2026, when he was taken away. 

He was among seven activists who were picked up from near Parliament during the June 25 protests and taken to an undisclosed location.

Meanwhile, the other six were dumped on Langata Road on Saturday morning. They all said they had been beaten up.

The development comes after the National Police Service said it had received a missing person’s report concerning Lichuma.

NPS Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga earlier said the Service takes the allegations seriously and remains committed to accountability and transparency. 

The police called on anyone with information or specific claims of enforced disappearances, torture, or other human rights violations to report the matter at the nearest police station to facilitate investigations.
