Aizawl/Imphal, India, May 19 (EFE).- The number of Myanmar citizens fleeing a military crackdown in their homeland and seeking refuge in India has risen to over 4,000, two nonprofits said on Wednesday.
Chin Refugee Committee, a New Delhi-based organization, warned of the growing exodus of refugees as military repression against pro-democracy activists continues across Myanmar, including in Mindat, a city in Chin state, which borders India.
“From our data the number (of refugees) may be a little over 4,000,” MC Kin Lian, secretary of the monitoring group, told EFE.
