#Assam

Samina Bibi’s (name changed) world was turned upside down when she was declared a foreigner in 2018 for not being able to answer questions on her ancestry.
It is a tall order to expect anyone to recall minute details from their ancestral past, but the Foreigners Tribunals are using this lack of information to deny citizenship. Read Samina Bibi's story here: amnesty.org.in/aft/the-citize...
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 #ForeignersTribunals, 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.
