Police arrest 'troublesome' refugees

Timothy Yamin (42), Peter Muganga and Musa Mohammed Isabirye (both 35) last Thursday embarked on a sit-in to protest what they described as terrible living conditions at the Dukwi Refugee Centre.

Station commander for Central Police Superintendent Modisaotsile Bonang yesterday confirmed that the three men are in custody. He said they have been detained for travelling out of the refugee camp without a permit. He said the men face no charges, but have been detained pending the relevant ministries’ decision about their fate.
