SC refuses to stop deportation of 7 Rohingya Muslims to Myanmar
The Supreme Court has refused to interfere in the Centre's decision to deport seven Rohingya refugees to Myanmar. A plea was filed seeking restraint on Centre's order for deporting the refugees from Assam's Silchar detention centre, over their illegal stay. Over 14,000 Rohingyas are registered with the UN refugee agency while 40,000 are estimated to be living in India.
