Atomic leak fears at Zaporizhzhia N-plant; Moscow & Kyiv welcome UN Experts

India has slammed the UN human rights experts who "condemned" the Indian government’s decision to deport three <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/german-filmmaker-beaten-in-rohingya-camp-in-bangladesh-198794">Rohingya</a> to Myanmar, saying the statements made by them are misleading and incorrect and that New Delhi's action is in accordance with Indian laws.

Reacting to a question during the Ministry of External Affairs's weekly briefing, MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "The interpretation made of the facts of the case, as portrayed in the statement, are misleading and incorrect. The repatriation of illegal immigrants to their country of origin is in accordance with Indian laws."

The three Rohingya — a father and his two children who had been in prison since 2013 — were deported last month.&nbsp;

"Government will continue to take actions as may be necessary in the implementation of Indian laws, and as directed by our judiciary," Kumar said.&nbsp;

The Indian Supreme Court had in October last year refused to interfere in the government's decision to deport 7 Rohingya men. On January 3 this year, India deported another five Rohingya to Myanmar.&nbsp;

The UN experts who condemned the Indian government's decision, saying it was against international law, are Tendayi Achiume, special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; Felipe González Morales, special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants; Seong-Phil Hong, chair-rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention; Yanghee Lee, special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar and Fernand de Varennes, special rapporteur on minority issues.

The Rohingya are Myanmarese Muslims from the country's western Rakhine state. They have fled Myanmar in huge numbers, especially to neighbouring Bangladesh, since a crackdown on them by the Myanmarese security forces since August 2017. The Myanmarese and have faced persecution by the local Buddist population and their citizenship has been rescinded.
