Indian Nationals Face Racial Profiling, Deportation in Georgia
Some Indian people with valid visas are being treated badly at the Georgian border.
They're being detained, questioned, and sent away without any good reason.
A medical student named Suman was even detained for two days and then deported.
The Indian government hasn't said anything about it, and some people think it's because of their skin color.
Indian nationals report racial profiling and discriminatory deportations at Georgian borders.
Medical student Suman and humanitarian worker Rajesh were detained despite valid visas.
Suman was detained for 48 hours and deported without explanation.
Rajesh was handcuffed and denied legal or consular aid.
Indian government hasn't issued warnings about Georgia, despite reported incidents.
