For Judicial Review of the decision of the Secretary of State for the Home Department dated 15 th September 2010
[1] The petitioner seeks asylum on the basis that she faces the grave risk of harm if she is returned to Kenya .
[2] The petitioner was born in 1977 and is a Kenyan national. Her family is from the Luo tribe and they live in Kisumu, a port city in western Kenya . In 2005 she met and formed a relationship with a man who is a member of the Kikuyu tribe. In May 2008 they began living together in Nairobi .
[3] In October 2008, the petitioner's partner joined an organisation known as 'Mungiki'. An expert on Kenya has described it as a former religious sect, which has "morphed into a criminal gang and a private militia under the control of certain politicians from the Kikuyu ethnic group." (Dr Branch, Report, para. 2.2)
[4] The petitioner became aware that her partner was involved in violent activity, because he would come home with blood on him. He became violent toward her. He repeatedly hit her and insisted that she should join Mungiki. That would involve circumcision as, unlike the Luo, Mungiki practice female genital mutilation ('FGM').
