the complaint received on 3 May 2001 the Complainant alleged that various
indents have taken place at the refugee camp, where the Police has been
notified, but the Police failed to intervene.<o:p></o:p>Further
statements in the Press have heightened insecurity at the camp. He further
alleged that some refugees have been kept in prison custody following bail
terms set by the Courts.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>FINDINGS:<o:p></o:p>In
effort to address this petition, the Commission made several correspondence to
get the complainant for discussions.<o:p></o:p>The
last letter sent dated 13th January 2004 requested the Complainant to state
interest in pursuing the matter before 22 January 2004 else the case would be
closed. The given date has passed and the complainant has still not responded,
indicating disinterest in the matter.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION:<o:p></o:p>In
the light of the above findings, the Commission declines further investigations
into the matter in accordance with Section 2(4) of C.1.7, which states as
follows:<o:p></o:p>Where
a complaint lodged with the Commission is not pursued for three months from the
date it is lodged, the complaint shall lapse thereafter".<o:p></o:p>
