LGBTQI REFUGEES IN KAKUMA MARCH TO UNHCR OFFICES, VIOLENCE ENSUES

A violent altercation occurred during the march and several refugees were attacked. It is unclear at this point whether the attacks were from police or civilians (or both), or what provoked the violence. One refugee (who would prefer to remain anonymous due to detainment) stated that local police were first to take aggressive action against the marchers and members of the community then joined the attacks.
