UN Committee Raises Concerns Over Alleged Rights Violations Against Minorities in India
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) expressed concern over alleged violations by Indian law enforcement against Rohingya refugees, Bengali-speaking Muslims, Scheduled Tribes, and Scheduled Castes. The committee highlighted increased operations targeting these groups, especially after the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, citing reports of racial profiling, arbitrary arrests, torture, and deportations. Indian authorities and government representatives have disputed these claims, emphasizing existing legal frameworks and investigations. The committee urged India to investigate allegations and protect minority rights in line with international conventions.
