Court to Hear on Mathew VanDyke's Return in Myanmar Training Case
A court hearing on Friday will address whether US national Mathew Aaron VanDyke will return to India in connection with an alleged conspiracy case involving seven foreign nationals accused of training ethnic militias in Myanmar after traveling through India. VanDyke and six Ukrainians were arrested in March under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, which was later dropped, and charged only under the Immigration and Foreigners Act. They were allowed to return to their countries temporarily on condition of rejoining investigations. The National Investigation Agency awaits VanDyke's confirmation of his return.
