Helen Goodman, Labour MP for Bishop Auckland in County Durham, has written to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to ask that he urgently reviews the decision to suspend refugee status for Chin refugees from Burma living in Malaysia and India.
She says in her letter “It is not clear to me that any fundamental change has occurred in the country so as to justify the cessation of refugee status for the Chin refugees.” We thank her for speaking up for Chin refugees, and hope UNHCR will listen.
