Atuhaire had been held incommunicado in Tanzania alongside fellow Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi, who was on Thursday found at the border with his home country. "The pain was too much," said Atuhaire, showing the BBC a scar from where she said she had been handcuffed. Atuhaire told the BBC about her alleged rape in graphic detail. Despite being allowed into the country, Mwangi and Atuhaire were not permitted to attend the hearing and were arrested. On Wednesday, the Kenyan government formally protested against his detention, accusing the Tanzanian authorities of denying consular access despite repeated requests.
