Human Rights Researcher
Regional Analyst on Ethnic Conflict and Civil Society
Legal Consultant on Refugee and Statelessness Law
I provide expert analysis on all five Refugee Convention grounds: political opinion, religion, ethnicity, membership of a particular social group (including LGBT and gender-based cases), and nationality, with a focus on the East African Great Lakes region.
This includes:
- Political repression, including persecution of opposition parties, civil society leaders, protestors, and independent media.
- Ethnic and tribal violence, including persecution of Tutsi, Hutu, Batwa, Banyamulenge, and other marginalised communities.
- Religious intolerance and targeting of minority or unregistered churches and sects.
- Gender-based violence, including forced marriage, sexual violence, and impunity in both rural and urban areas.
- Harassment, imprisonment, and physical violence against LGBT individuals, particularly under anti-homosexuality laws and social hostility.
- Statelessness and denial of nationality, especially among cross-border communities and children born to refugees.
- Persecution of returnees or diaspora members accused of foreign influence or espionage.
- Arbitrary arrests, torture, and prolonged detention in politically sensitive or ethnically charged cases.
- Suppression of freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and the press, including cyber-surveillance and criminalisation of dissent.
- Preparation of expert witness reports for asylum, immigration, and human rights cases.
- Provision of oral testimony before courts and tribunals.
- Verification and authentication of documents and country-specific evidence.
