Some spoke of having phones confiscated by agents and enduring horrific experiences in dark rooms.

Anti-tax protesters in Kenya abducted over the last week as part of a crackdown have been left traumatised, lawyers say.

Some described how their phones and laptops were confiscated and they endured horrific experiences in dark rooms. On Wednesday, Mr Ruto said that all abducted individuals had been released but rights groups dispute this - and Ms Odhiambo said as the president spoke 12 people were still missing. Some said they now just wanted to go to their village homes as they do not feel safe in the city and others spoke about leaving the country altogether, she added.
