URGENT ACTION

Dong Samuel Luak, a prominent South Sudanese lawyer and human rights advocate, has been missing since the night of 23 January. Aggrey Idri, a member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO), has been missing since 24 January 2017. Credible sources indicate they are being detained by Kenyan police and are at imminent risk of deportation.
Dong Samuel Luak was last seen in Nairobi town centre at approximately 9:00 pm on 23 January, when he was on his way to board a bus home. He did not arrive home and has since been unreachable by phone. Aggrey Idri, chair of the SPLM-IO’s Humanitarian Affairs Committee, was last seen in the Kilimani neighbourhood of Nairobi at approximately 8:00 am the morning of 24 January. Both Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Idri are vocal critics of the South Sudanese government and are active on Facebook. Credible sources indicate they are being detained by Kenyan police and are at imminent risk of deportation.
Dong Samuel Luak is a registered refugee with the United Nations Human Rights Commission and his deportation would amount to a violation of the non-refoulement principle under the 1951 Refugee Convention. Aggrey Idri has resided in Kenya on a visitors pass since the conflict in South Sudan broke out in mid-December 2013.
If deported to South Sudan, Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Idri would face serious risks of arbitrary detention, torture and other ill-treatment.
Please write immediately in English, Kiswahili or your own language:
ν Urging the Kenyan authorities to immediately disclose the whereabouts of Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Idri and ensure they have access to their families and lawyers of their choosing;
ν Urging them to make public the reasons for the continued detention (if they are in custody) of Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Idri and, unless a legal basis for continued detention can be demonstrated, to release them without delay;
ν Urging them to uphold their international obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention, the 1969 Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Refugee Convention and the Convention Against Torture;
ν Urging them to recognise and give effect to the fact that both Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Idri run the risk of being subjected to torture if they are deported to South Sudan and, therefore, to ensure the two are not deported to that country.

PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 9 MARCH 2017 TO:
