Combating Human Trafficking at Dzaleka Refugee Camp

The Malawi Defence Force (MDF) conducted another raid at Dzaleka Refugee Camp, three months after a similar operation on 17 July 2024, targeting human trafficking within the camp. While the recent raid resulted in the detention of over 250 individuals, it has also raised concerns due to reports of human rights violations, including mistreatment of refugees and asylum seekers, as well as significant property loss. We are calling for transparent legal processes, the protection of refugees’ rights, and accountability for traffickers, ensuring they face the full force of the law and are not released without prosecution. We urge authorities to handle the situation with humanity and justice.. Read our detailed statement here.
