Refugees camping outside UN offices in Pretoria refuse to move to Lindela

Refugees that have been camping outside the offices of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Brooklyn Pretoria since 2019 say they would rather face death than leave. This comes after a High Court order that compels their eviction. But the group says they have nowhere to go and fear for their lives if they are moved to the Lindela Repatriation Centre or reintegrated into society. Meanwhile, lawyers for Human Rights have pleaded for the dignity of the refugees to be respected while the UN appealed for peaceful evictions.
