Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi and Ugandan journalist Agather Atuhaire have narrated how a simple act of solidarity to support Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu turned into a nightmare of torture, sexual assault and psychological trauma.
Their trip to Dar es Salaam turned into a horrifying ordeal after the two were abducted from their hotel rooms, brutalised by Tanzanian security forces and subjected to days of physical and sexual abuse that they say left them scarred for life.
