A Ugandan who fled to Kenya to escape homophobia and seek asylum and protection under the U.N. refugee agency has died. 22-year-old Chriton ‘Trinidad’ Atuhwera died at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on Monday where he had been admitted for nearly a month after he sustained serious burn injuries in a homophobic attack at Kakuma Refugee Camp in northern Kenya. Amnesty International Executive Director Irungu Houghton said in a statement that they were heartbroken to learn of his death. “We offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Chriton’s death was preventable. We call on UNHCR and the Refugee Affairs Secretariat to ensure all refugees are protected regardless of their sexual orientation,” the statement read in part.
