India to Deport1 Rohingya Refugees in New Delhi

India's home ministry2 said Wednesday that Rohingya refugees in the capital, New Delhi would be detained and then expelled from the country. The announcement conflicts with an earlier statement promising3 shelter and security to the refugees from Myanmar.

Hardeep Singh Puri is India's federal minister for housing and urban affairs. Earlier on Wednesday, he said on Twitter that Rohingya refugees would be given shelter in western Delhi's Bakkarwala area. He added they would be provided with basic living support and police protection.

But, just hours after Puri's tweets, the federal home ministry said in a statement that "Rohingya illegal foreigners" would remain held at a place in the city's south as officials worked to deport them.

"Illegal foreigners are to be kept in the detention4 center till their deportation5 as per law," the home ministry said in a statement.

"The Government of Delhi has not declared the present location as a detention center. They have been directed to do the same immediately."

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar in the last several years to escape violent government attacks on their villages. Most of the refugees are in Bangladesh, which borders Myanmar.

As of early this year, 17,000 Rohingya found refuge in India. About 1,100 are living in Delhi. Some have found work, mainly as laborers6, rickshaw operators and by selling goods at small stands on the streets, Rohingya rights activist7 Ali Johar said.

Johar noted8 that some 2,000 Rohingya had left for Bangladesh this year, amid fears of being deported9 from India. "Most of the Rohingya in Delhi now live in rented accommodation, where they feel safe, or in settlements," said Johar, who moved to India about 10 years ago and lives with his family.

Speaking to Reuters before the home ministry's statement, Johar expressed concern that the new facilities could be used to imprison10 the refugees.

"If it turns out to be a detention camp, that will be a nightmare for us," he said.
