Amnesty🔊: 🇮🇳India's ☪Rohingya Need Support, ❌Not Expulsion

Amnesty International initiated an online campaign and petition calling for people's support to stop India's plan of deporting thousands of Rohingya refugees living in India.

Characterising Rohingya refugees and asylum-seekers as illegal immigrants and deeming them "security threats" will expose them to grave risks if forcibly returned, the rights group said on Monday while pushing the "#istandwithrohingyarefugees" campaign online.

Last week, India's government said it had evidence showing some Rohingya in the country have ties to "terror organisations" and pose a security threat that justifies a mass deportation of the approximately 40,000 Rohingya.

In terms of India's position, it is their legal and moral obligation to not allow the expulsion from happening," Arijit Sen, project manager at Amnesty International India, told Al Jazeera.
