Rohingya In Manipur Jail

A day after a Rohingya Muslim migrant from Myanmar's Rakhine state was sent back, five others lodged at an Assam prison were deported to the neighbouring country on Thursday. According to sources, they were handed over to Myanmarese authorities at the border check point in Manipur's Moreh town.

At a time when the central government claims that it would identify and deport Rohingyas taking refuge in India, many are wondering if that is even possible as Myanmar does not accept them as its citizens.
