Ahead of the publication of the National Register of Citizens in Assam, at least a dozen people who have been declared foreigners have been released from detention following a Supreme Court order. The order called for the release of declared foreigners who have spent over three years in detention. A 53-year-old man has finally returned home after over four years in a detention camp in the state's Goalpara jail. In 2010, Robi Dey was marked as a doubtful voter on Assam's voter list - four years back he was declared a foreigner by a tribunal. Over three hundred like Robi Dey will be set free after the court order.
