medical care was provided to her. According to the Complainants, while in custody a fellow detainee advised the Victim to write a letter to the Kenya High Commission, which she did. The letter was delivered to the High Commission through the assistance of the detainee' s mother. 16. The Complainants aver that three days later, officials from the Kenya High Commission visited the Victim and instructed her to cooperate with the Police Officers and further cautioned her against involving the immigration officials. The Victim cooperated with the Police and provided all the information in her possession about her attackers. The Complainants state that despite the Victim's cooperation with the police, on several occasions they threatened to charge her with various offences, including being an illegal immigrant and providing false information. 17. The Complainants submit that after four weeks of being unlawfully detained at the Klein Windhoek Police Station, a fellow detainee advised the Victim to write a note notifying the media of her predicament and seeking assistance. This note was delivered to One Africa TV through the assistance of one of the fellow detainee' s sister. The Complainants aver that through the intervention of Erica Gebhardt, a journalist at One Africa TV, the Legal Assistance Center (LAC), an NGO based in Windhoek, was notified of the Victim's predicament. The Complainants further submit that the LAC was informed that the Victim would only be released from custody, if she produced an air ticket to return to Kenya, at which point she would be allowed to depart the country. 18. The Complainants state that the LAC facilitated the process of obtaining the air ticket, through a friend of the Victim in Kenya, so as to secure her release from detention. At the time of the Victim's departure from Namibia, the LAC had still not obtained any information regarding the continued detention of the Victim, or the status of the investigation into the allegations of trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation. 19. The Complainants aver that the Victim left Namibia on 23 November 2017, aboard a South African Airways flight to Nairobi, and that Immigration Officers accompanied her to the Hosea Kitako International Airport.
