Masked men abducted Badara Alou Sacko, president of Mali’s civil society, on Friday in Bamako. His whereabouts remain unknown.
A vocal critic of the transitional authorities, Sacko has condemned the military’s broken promises, extended transition period, and new state taxes.
His family, who last heard from him two days ago, plans to take legal action on Monday.
The incident raises concerns over political dissent and security in Mali.
