At least 85 men, women and children were unlawfully transferred from Kenya to Somalia and then onward to Ethiopia in January and February 2007. Arrested while trying to escape from war-torn Somalia, they became victims of rendition transferred in secret from one country to another outside any legal process. Amnesty International believes that most are still arbitrarily detained in Ethiopia.
