Kenyan court blocks Trump admin from dumping Ebola-exposed Americans there
摘要
肯尼亚法院阻止特朗普政府将在刚果（金）埃博拉疫情中暴露于病毒的美国公民送往该国。美方原计划在肯尼亚莱基皮亚设立临时隔离和治疗设施，但遭肯尼亚宪法倡导组织卡提巴研究所提起诉讼，该计划已被搁置。美方仍在寻找其他可能接收这些美国公民的国家。
The Trump administration is refusing to repatriate Americans exposed to Ebola amid the outbreak still raging in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. But the plan to send US citizens to Kenya has hit a snag, and officials are still scrambling to find other countries that might take them.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the administration had devised a plan to establish a makeshift quarantine and treatment facility in Kenya—instead of bringing its citizens home for high-quality care at specialized facilities built for this purpose. According to the initial plans, the US facility would be in Laikipia, about 120 miles north of Nairobi, where the US has an air base. Initially, the plan was to set up a 50-bed quarantine facility that was expected to be operational today, May 29. Then, in a second state, officials would set up isolation and biocontainment units to house Americans infected with the virus.
But after a series of events on Thursday and Friday, that plan has now been stalled. The Katiba Institute, which advocates for Kenyans' constitutional rights, filed the petition on Thursday to challenge the establishment of the quarantine and treatment facility.
