Inside secret first camp for Myanmar refugees established in India
Believed to be the first of its kind, the camp runs on a tight budget, with refugees sleeping on mats on hard floors
The location of the camp is kept secret from police and the army
Hundreds of worried looking people fill the damp room, some playing folk songs on their phones, while others sit quietly in the dark.
“I crossed the border into India with three other female police officers at night on a riverboat. I was so scared while crossing, that the police would stop me,” said Aung Kyi, a diminutive police officer from Myanmar, who fled after she was instructed to shoot at pro-democracy protesters in her home country, following the military coup. Her name has been changed to protect her identity.
