Following the Illegal Directive by the Deputy Camp Manager at Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement dated 3rd March, 2025 on instructions from the Department of Refugee Services (DRS) titled RESTRICTION/CURFEW NOTICE, Refugee Legal Networks (RLN) filed a petition on 5th March, 2025 seeking to have the impugned order lifted due to its illegality. The High Court of Kenya on 11th March, 2025 was informed by a representative of DRS that the said directive has since been withdrawn. However, the Court directed that the Department of Refugee reply to the petition attaching the purported withdrawal. The matter has since been slated for a further mention on 24th March, 2025 for further directions. We attach the two Orders herein. Refugee Legal Networks is commited to ensuring that the rights of refugees and asylum seekers are protected at all times. #UNHCR #DepartmentofRefugeeServices #DRS #AmnestyInternational
