The Manipur Human Rights Commission (MHRC) has been asked to probe the alleged custodial death of two women from Myanmar, who were among 29 refugees kept at a centre that was turned into a temporary prison. The two women, identified as 46-year-old Ma Myint and 40-year-old Mukhai, died of COVID-19 without proper medical care, a rights group called Human Rights Alert (HRA) said in a letter to the Commission on July 2. The group is based in Manipur’s capital city Imphal. HRA’s executive director, Babloo Loitongbam, said the 29 Myanmar nationals, including six minors, were kept in judicial custody at Saadbhavana Mandop in Churachandpur district’s New Lamka after they were arrested on March 31 for entering India illegally.
