'India put us on the boat like captives - then threw us in the sea' | BBC News India

The BBC has spoken exclusively to a group of Rohingya refugees who were deported by the Indian government and dumped in the sea off the coast of Myanmar - a country in the midst of a brutal civil war. The Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority, face violent persecution at the hands of Myanmar’s military government.

This week marks eight years since the military junta and authorities in Myanmar launched widespread atrocities against the Rohingya population.
As a result, more than a million Rohingya fled to neighbouring countries, including India.

In an exclusive interview, the refugees recounted how they were taken and left at sea by Indian authorities. The BBC’s South Asia Correspondent Samira Hussain reports from Delhi.
