Human rights defender Brian Kagoro blocked from entering Kenya despite court order

Original: Kenya/Ethiopia: Human rights defender Brian Kagoro prevented from entering Kenya despite High Court order

Human rights defender Brian Kagoro, who works across Kenya and Ethiopia, was prevented from entering Kenya even though the High Court had issued an order allowing his entry. Rights groups including the International Federation for Human Rights are condemning the move as defiance of a judicial ruling. Critics say it signals mounting pressure on civil society figures in the region.

Why now: The incident is being seen as a government defying its own High Court and as part of growing pressure on human rights defenders.
