In a significant move, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) representative will on Thursday meet authorities over the brewing Rohingya refugee crisis, after 175 of them were moved to a jail in Jammu which has been designated as a ‘Holding Center’ on March 6. Top sources confirmed to India Today that the representatives would meet authorities on the issue. " The UNHRC representatives are already in touch over the phone, but now they will meet the authorities in Jammu." The move to detain Rohingyas living in Jammu has created fear among the community. The UNHRC move may placate rising tensions. This even as Jammu Police had reunited Rohingya children with their parents who are in a detention centre, after some media reports highlighted their plight.
