Senior citizens have demanded dignified repatriation stating that the ongoing third country resettlement would never be an amicable solution to bring the two-decade long refugee imbroglio to an end.
Submitting a petition to the US Embassy in Kathmandu, Harka Jung Subba and Santa Bir Ghale of the Senior Citizens’ Group, asked President Barack Obama’s administration to pressurize the Bhutanese authority for accepting exiled Bhutanese back home with dignity and honor, Tuesday.
“We urge the United States of America and other resettling countries to press the Government of Bhutan to open doors for repatriation,” the duo said in the petition letter.
The petition also claimed that the resettlement program has demoralized the actual sentiments of repatriation.
The petition further mentioned that the resettlement package was just a temporary solution of the crisis.
“We are sad to mention that the ongoing resettlement has distracted the long struggle for democracy and human rights in Bhutan,” they added.
