PRETORIA - Refugees moved off the street of Pretoria and onto the parking lot of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on Thursday.
United Nations officials moved their cars out of the parking lot and refugees rushed in to fill the spaces.The group said they would continue to demand action from the UNHCR. Refugees have been sleeping at the centre for weeks now, demanding to be moved to safety, away from the xenophobic attacks that they have suffered in South Africa.
The refugees, mostly from the Democratic Republic of Congo, said their sit-in was drawing more support daily.
