The United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner Volcar Turk has expressed concern over the situation of Rohingya Muslims and people taking shelter in various countries. He has urged these countries to try in this direction for the US, Pakistan, Iran, European countries and refugees living in India. He claims that India has deported Rohingya Muslims from the country through land and water. On Monday (September 8, 2025), he said these things while presenting information on his global update in the 60th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

According to PTI reports, Volcker Turk said that in some countries, policies and practices violating the rights of migrants and refugees have been made normal, which is a matter of serious concern. He said, ‘Human rights, all human rights are strong foundations of rich societies, but today dangerous trends that weaken these rights are increasing globally.’

Volcar Turk also expressed concern over the Afghans being forcibly out of Pakistan and Iran and said that India has also expelled groups of Rohingya Muslims from the country. He also expressed concern over the recent policies of Germany, Greece, Hungary and other European countries that aim to limit the right to demand asylum.

Volcker Turk also stated that the US has entered into agreements with several countries including Al Salvador, South Sudan, Estin and Rwanda, under which citizens of third countries are being sent to other places instead of their own country, which feared violation of international law.

According to the human rights organization ‘Human Rights Watch’, around 40,000 Rohingya are living in India, of which at least 20,000 are registered in the United Nations Refugee Agency. He urged all countries to try in this direction, so that every child, whether he becomes a farmer in future, becomes a doctor or shopkeeper, understand that human rights is his birthright.

The Supreme Court has described the petition accusing the 43 Rohingya people of being released into the international sea without any strong evidence. On the basis of these allegations, the court rejected the demand of the petitioner demanding to stop the exile of Rohingya people from India. The court said that it would hear the case on 31 July.

Rohingya Mohammad Ismail’s petition claimed that the Government of India had forcibly deported Myanmar by throwing 43 Rohingya refugees into international water. They have reached Myanmar floating with the help of life jacket. As soon as the case was heard, Justice Surya Kant, who is presiding over the bench of 2 judges, called these allegations as imaginary.

Justice Surya Kant told senior advocate Colin Gonzalvis, appearing for Mohammad Ismail, ‘How do you bring such fabricated stories every time? Was the petitioner you appeared for personally? If yes, how did he escape to Delhi? Or he was watching everything from Delhi through satellite.

Gonzalvis said that in the United Nations report, these people have been considered as the victim refugees. It has been said that they should not be forcibly deported. On this, Justice Surya Kant said, ‘We will also speak on this report. People sitting outside India try to influence matters related to our safety and sovereignty.

The petitioner’s counsel said that the Government of India had earlier given the status of citizen to the Chakma refugees of Bangladesh. Cutting this argument, the judge said that this is the policy of the government. People who reached India were assured by the government. There is nothing like this in this case.

The senior advocate demanded a ban on the exile of the Rohingya people. He said that if the Supreme Court did not do this, then people will continue to be left in the sea. This argument had no effect on the court. Justice Surya Kant said that the petitions related to the Rohingya people have been submitted by the Chief Justice to the bench of 3 judges. On May 8, a 3 -judge bench refused to stop the government’s action. Now this matter is imposed for hearing on 31 July. Only then will it be heard.
