Impact on the Rohingya community Family separation Most Rohingya families now find themselves undergoing similar traumatic incidents in India which had prompted them to run away from Myanmar in the first place. Sudden arrests and mass detentions have led to breaking up of families. “My father is 88 years and is in Hirangar holding cell. After the first round when they detained 150 people. My father was detained during the month of Ramzan. He was detained as a part of Tablighi Jamaat. He was detained from Ramban mosque. They detained all 25 of them. We can meet them through glass. They let us talk through the glass. They are getting jail food. It is of very bad quality. We have tried a lot to get them released. We have paid a lot to the lawyers. The police have not put a case against them. The UNHCR is unable to answer us” - Rohingya Women in Jammu. Health-risks and Issues Concerning Security Narratives from the families of those in detention show that they suffer terrible fates at detention centers. Lack of adequate health care facilities is common in holding cells and detention centers. Additionally, there is the fear of abuse and violence inside detention cells from the guards, as well as fellow inmates. Young women often fear that they shall be subjected to abuse and violence yet again in the detention cells with no channels to report incidences of abuse. Increased Financial Burdens in Caring for Dependents and Visiting the Detained Those who have extended family members in detention have the additional responsibility of caring for their younger children or older dependents. This creates extra burdens on their lives, both financially and otherwise. Hiranagar Detention Centre is located about 60 kilometers a from Jammu Spouses of those detained have to work every day and care for children and parents left behind, and cannot afford time to visit. “My sister is sick, she needs to take her medicine regularly.

I don’t have much money and sometimes have to borrow from my neighbor.” - Rohingya woman from Jammu, 26 years List of Recommendations: The recommendations below call for action on the immediate needs of the Rohingya people while also working towards a sustainable solution that involves international cooperation and protection of the rights of Rohingya in India.
