BANGKOK, Jan 28 (Reuters) – Up to 100,000 Christian Chin who have fled to India in the past 20 years to escape persecution by Myanmar’s Buddhist military rulers are at risk of being forced back, Human Rights Watch said on Wednesday.
The New York-based rights said local authorities and community organisations in northeastern India’s Mizoram state frequently targeted Chin migrants, one of the former Burma’s many oppressed ethnic minorities.
