Illegal Rohingya have no right to settle in India: Government in SC
Tuesday, 19 March 2024 Indian govt asserts that Rohingya Muslims lack fundamental rights in India, dismissing UNHCR refugee cards. It emphasizes the policy decision on refugee status and the exclusion of foreigners from the right to equality, citing security concerns.
Tragedy struck as a wooden boat carrying an estimated 150 Rohingya refugees capsized off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province, sparking fears of multiple fatalities. The vessel encountered distress approximately 19km (12 miles) from the shores of Kuala Bubon on Aceh's west coast, succumbing to turbulent seas on Wednesday morning. Amidst the chaos, six individuals - four women and two men - were plucked from the water by Acehnese fishermen and ushered to safety in a nearby shelter. Tragically, it is believed that the majority of the presumed casualties were women and children, unable to navigate the waters and swept away by relentless currents.

criminal gangs who exploit them. , Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.

allow us to do that and make it very
clear that if you come here illegally,
you will not be able to stay, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The U.N. and human rights activists
have condemned the bill. .
Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees, said.

all countries – not just those neighboring

for refugee protection, undermining
international cooperation and setting
a worrying global precedent, Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, via statement .
