Thirty-five Ugandans linked to the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party have filed a constitutional petition against the Kenyan government, alleging unlawful arrest and deportation from Kenya on July 23, 2024. The group claims they were in Kenya for leadership training at Ukweli Pastoral Centre in Kisumu when they were attacked by security forces and forcibly deported to Uganda without due process. According to a statement by the Ugandan Police, the individuals were involved in "subversive activities." The petitioners argue that their rights under Articles 28, 29, 39, 47, and 49(1) of Kenya's Constitution were violated, including rights to dignity, movement, and fair trial. They seek general damages and a declaration that the actions breached both domestic and international law.
