"Border Patrol agents left a partially blind refugee who spoke little English in the parking lot of a Buffalo coffee shop the night of Feb. 19 shortly before the man disappeared, according to security camera footage reviewed by The Washington Post. He was found dead five days later.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was found dead Tuesday evening near an arena in downtown Buffalo, about five miles from where the federal agents had dropped him off after they picked him up from the county jail.

Relatives had spent days searching for Shah Alam, whom they described as in poor health. The circumstances surrounding the Rohingya refugee’s death prompted an outcry from Democratic officials, who called for further investigation.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents “released a blind father from custody and left him to find his way home alone,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said Thursday. “He never made it. New Yorkers deserve answers and accountability.”

Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan said Wednesday that Shah Alam’s death was “preventable” and “deeply disturbing.” The decision by CBP personnel to leave Shah Alam alone was “a dereliction of duty,” Ryan said."

Survivre au génocide : l’histoire de la résistance et de la solidarité du peuple rohingya

Le Myanmar, connu sous le nom de Birmanie jusqu’en 1989, a souffert de régimes autoritaires et de conflits civils depuis son indépendance en 1948. Ces conflits ont été menés contre l’opposition armée, allant de deux factions communistes à de nombreuses minorités ethniques victimes de discrimination, notamment les Shan, les Karen, les Mon, les Kachin et d’autres.
