Myanmar refuses to take Rohingya girl

Myanmar has refused to accept a 14-year-old Rohingya girl deported by India, an Indian media report said, as the United Nations refugee agency and rights groups criticised New Delhi for the move. The girl was taken to a border town in northeastern India's Manipur state on Thursday for deportation, police officials said, but the authorities in coup-hit Myanmar refused to accept her. The Hindustan Times report said that the girl will be sent back to the neighbouring state of Assam, where she had been sheltering for more than a year while her family lived as refugees in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar.
