Saturday 28 March marks seven years since Amara Krumak, Abdalla Bari and Kone Tiemoko Abdul Kader – known as the El #Hiblu 3 – were arrested in Malta for opposing their forced return to Libya, where they would be at risk of persecution, torture and other serious human rights violations. For this act of resistance, they were charged with “acts of terrorism” and other offences by the #Malta authorities. #asylum #righttoasylum

After 2 armed bank robberies, the Bangladeshi security forces have exacted racist, collective punishment on the tiny (11,000 members) #Bawm Indigenous People, displacing more than 1/3 to refugee camps in India.

Amazing, tireless reporting from Marzia Hashmi Momo. https://interactive.netra.news/being-bawm-bangladesh/
