• Map. -- Summary. -- Recommendations. -- Methodology. -- Background. -- Torture, rape, beatings, and extortion by the Kenyan police. -- Arbitrary detention and criminal charges without evidence. -- Kenya's refugee relocation plan. -- UNHCR's response. -- Ongoing crisis in the Dadaab refugee camps. -- Insecurity in Somalia and the risk of refoulement. -- Acknowledgments.

• This report was based on interviews with 101 refugees, asylum seekers, and Kenyans of Somali ethnicity. The report documents how police used grenade and other attacks by unknown people in Nairobi's mainly Somali suburb of Eastleigh and a government order to relocate urban refugees to refugee camps as an excuse to rape, beat, extort money from, and arbitrarily detain, at least 1,000 people. The police described their victims as "terrorists," and demanded payments to free them. Human Rights Watch also documented 50 cases in which the abuses would amount to torture.
