India: Muslims Protest Planned Mass Deportation of Rohingya Refugees
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In New Delhi, India, hundreds of Muslims protested against a plan by
India's Hindu nationalist government to deport some 40,000 Rohingya
refugees to Burma, where the Burmese army is carrying out a wide-scale
ethnic cleansing. The protest came as India's Supreme Court hears a
challenge to the plan. The plan is backed by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi.
