#Assam

A growing number of people are developing mental illnesses due to the long ordeal of fighting their case in the #ForeignersTribunal. Studies show that around 89% of people who were left out of the #NRC were facing anxiety and other mental issues induced by fear. Twenty five people have already died in detention centres.
Dulal, a daily wage labourer, died in the Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) on 13 October 2019, two years after being declared a foreigner and detained. Read his story here: amnesty.org.in/aft/death-in-d...
The fate of over 1.9 million people who have been left out of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam now rests with the Foreigners Tribunals. If 100 Foreigners Tribunals, can create such a havoc, leaving thousands stateless, imagine what can happen if a national NRC is implemented.
Amnesty India's report #DesignedToExclude shows how India's Courts are allowing Foreigners Tribunals to render people stateless. Read the report here: amnesty.org.in/assam-foreigne...
