There are over 100 Myanmar nationals who, despite having completed their sentences and paid all their fines for illegally staying in Manipur State, are still being held at Imphal Prison. Their families are allowed to contact them once a week.
Family members of those imprisoned say they are facing difficulties in raising 50,000 rupees because they have been fleeing conflict and lack stable employment.
Your source says 40% would struggle which is a higher threshold than couldn’t but that means 60% would not struggle to pay.
If we’re being pedantic the article says 400 dollars. 600 is 50% more
So your source was wrong on all fronts
Nice to see you completely miss the point, good luck out there.
