Ultimately they are humans like you and I. Treat them well and deport them to where they belong to in a humane manner. Sad, we can't keep them here thinking about 20 years ahead..

Fully agree. Look after them for the time being.but please make arrangements to send them back to their countries.we cannot face the same problems that the west is facing in another 10 years. Look at Belgium, Paris, London. We cannot have a scenario where we will live in fear.treat them well and send them back.

Yes, worse than 1983 violence, some are celebrating as if they have won the war. They just attacked unarmed refugees.

Did they come in following accepted Immigration procedures? Police must hast looked into this. How did UNHRC maintained a camp ? Did they get approval from relevant ministry to do so in a residential area without proper security arrangements?

This is disgraceful. Foreign readers do not believe it was lead by a Buddhist group.
