On 4 March, India for Myanmar called on authorities in New Delhi to stop threatening Myanmar refugees with deportation, including those detained in Assam and Manipur.
On 23 February, police raided and threatened the Burmese Christian Association (BCA) and Grace Baptist Church (GBC) during a prayer session in Bikapur, a New Delhi neighbourhood home to Myanmar refugees.
“While we were worshipping, the authorities barged in without any respect for religion, demanding proof of our status. They threatened to arrest, imprison, or deport anyone without a UN card,” a BCA member said.
