Assam Citizenship Verification Process and India's Citizenship Amendment Act

In this talk, Rupali Samuel takes the example of India to explore how exclusionary regimes use citizenship laws as a vehicle for oppression and marginalisation. Based on her experience working at the Parichay Legal Clinic in India, she will reflect on the challenging citizenship verification processes adopted by India in Assam, their consequences in terms of detention and deportation, and how the lack of a proper refugee protection framework perpetuates human rights violations.

We should set this process in motion earlier on.
