'This is not right', India to toughen up US; Will ask not to send deportees to Guantanamo

 

Delhi: India has opposed the sending of Indians deported from the US to the US naval base Guantanamo. India has decided to ask not to send migrants to Guantanamo. Countries such as Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have said they will accept those from other countries. The US move to send them to Guantanamo detention centers is to increase the number of repatriates

The central government has said that military aircraft can be allowed and Indians should be brought directly to India as much as possible. India is in talks with some airline companies. 200 Venezuelans who were detained in Guantanamo recently returned home. Government officials said it was not right to send immigrants to Guantanamo, where the United States had been holding terrorists, including from Afghanistan.
