The United Nations has urged LGBT+ refugees in Kenya to show “calm and restraint” after protests demanding better treatment turned violent, with police firing tear gas and arresting more than 20 demonstrators. Scores of LGBT+ and other refugees have been protesting outside the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) offices in Nairobi for several days demanding support with housing, financial assistance and documentation allowing them to work. Many LGBT+ refugees say they are not safe in Kenya as discrimination against sexual minorities is prevalent – and are also demanding to be resettled in a third country. The UNHCR says places are limited as rich nations are accepting fewer refugees.
