Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has sued the government over its move to close the Daadab refugee camp.
The commission wants the decision of the State to repatriate the refugees stayed and the Interior ministry directed to reinstate and resume operations of the Department of Refugee Affairs.
The commission claims the move to disband the Department of Refugees Affairs is unconstitutional as it was not preceded by any known public discussion.
According to the commission, that the closer of Daadab Refugee Camp will occasion danger and persecution to refugees and asylum seekers if they are forcibly returned without proper assessment of the security concerns.
