The family of a fierce critic of South Sudan's President Salva Kiir say they fear he's been abducted in Kenya and forcibly returned.


Morris Mabior Awikjok Bak, who has 22 children, has not been seen since he was detained in Nairobi almost three weeks ago by men wearing Kenyan police uniforms.

His wife was also beaten up. He had been seeking political asylum in Kenya. Kenyan and South Sudanese authorities have not commented on the allegations.

The South Sudanese government has been accused of silencing its opponents. Six journalists were arrested last month in connection with the dissemination of footage appearing to show President Kiir wetting himself. They’ve not been seen since.
