'Current conditions in Rakhine State in Myanmar are not conducive for safe'
As India prepares to deport seven Rohingya “illegals” to Myanmar on Thursday, two United Nations bodies criticised the proposed move and urged the Indian government to refrain from doing anything that would endanger the lives of those it plans to deport.
“UN High Commissioner for Refugees has expressed its view that the current conditions in Rakhine State in Myanmar are not conducive for safe, dignified and sustainable return for Rohingya,” a UNHCR spokesperson told The Hindu, calling on India to reconsider its decision and “refrain from measures that could directly or indirectly lead to the return of a person to a country where his or her life or freedom would be in danger.”
