According to his family, Mwangi appeared frail and injured upon arrival and was immediately taken to a hospital in Diani for medical evaluation.
“We received a photo showing he was in a weakened state with visible injuries. He is currently undergoing a medical check-up,” a family member said.
Earlier in the day, Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs CS Musalia Mudavadi confirmed Mwangi’s release by Tanzanian authorities, following days of detention.
His return comes after intense public outcry and diplomatic intervention, including threats of protests outside the Tanzanian High Commission in Nairobi.
Mwangi had been missing since Monday after traveling to Tanzania to attend a court session involving opposition leader Tundu Lissu.
