A group of rights experts asked Tanzania to free Boniface Mwangi and Agatha Atuhaire right away. The two people went missing after police took them from their hotel rooms.

The group leader, Kamau Ngugi, said many people have already asked the government to let these people go. The two were staying at Serena Hotel when people who said they were police came for...
