The police official on the phone told me, there should be a drive to send them back. The situation of Rohingya refugees in India’s detention centers needs a thorough investigation from an international ombudsman- @RefugeesIntl @pbhushan1 @ROHRIngya @Outlookindia @ravishndtv

This is Namina Khatoon, a #Rohingya refugee woman who gave birth to a baby 5 months ago while in a detention center/holding center in Jammu, India. The baby died while in detention 3 days ago after the police tear gassed the detention center, an enclosed space.
The Azadi Project retweeted
Hundreds of refugees die while they try to flee war and persecution and hunger. @Outlookindia looks at the refugee crisis and on the cover, there is a poem by #raulzurita that he wrote for the Syrian boy Galip Kurdi who drowned in 2015 along with his brother #alankurdi

#Rohingya in India are being detained illegally. Disturbing to see reports of teargassing those who protest it.
@RefugeesIntl & @TheAzadiProject recently reported on detention & other challenges Rohingya face in #India. Learn more ⬇️

India’s hypocritical &xenophobic stance on refugees, particularly #Rohingya should be raised by Biden when meeting Modi…this as @Ilhan also a former refugee boycotts Modi’s speech to the US Congress. @EndGenocideDan and I write for @thewire_in |
@RefugeesIntl @TheAzadiProject
Biden will likely talk about China, climate change, and human rights. But what may be absent from the discussion is the hypocrisy of India’s stance on refugees, particularly the Rohingya genocide survivors of Myanmar. | @priyalisur and Dan Sullivan

Last week, we held the inaugural session of 'Lands, Borders and People', our ongoing series on displacement. It was an incredible and invigorating evening; the audience questions left us in awe of our community, and we are so pleased to introduce the second panel in the series.
