The Refugee Law Project has protested the way 15,000 Sudanese refugees are being treated in a relocation exercise that started on Monday. Emmanuel Bagenda, an advocacy officer with the Law Project, told a press conference at their offices in Kampala that the way the Government was carrying out the relocation of Kiryandongo refugees to West Nile was in disregard of its obligations to protect them under agreed international standards and conventions. "We are disappointed that the Government could use such high-handed measures to transfer the refugees. The Government should have engaged them in dialogue before embarking on the exercise."
