Clashes broke out inside Jammu and Kashmir’s lone detention centre on Tuesday (July 18) morning after incarcerated Rohingya refugees staged protests to seek their release or repatriation to Myanmar, the Indian website “THE WIRE” reported.
Around 270 Rohingya refugees, including women and children, have been lodged in the detention centre for more than two years and have been intermittently protesting against their continuous detention.
The Rohingya have suffered decades of violence, discrimination and persecution in Myanmar and have been denied citizenship since 1982.
