Rohingyas stage demonstration outside UNHCR office in Kathmandu (In pictures)

Rohingyas, who have been living in Nepal as refugees after being displaced from Myanmar, staged a stage demonstration outside the office of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Kathmandu on Monday.

They staged the demonstration outside the office this morning, saying that the UNHCR cut off the financial aid it has been giving to the Rohingya refugees and their children.

Children of Rohingyas staged a sit-in outside the office of UNHCR in school uniforms.

Their parents said that they have been facing difficulties in paying school fees among others after the UNHCR cut off the financial aid.

The government of Nepal has termed the Rohingyas living in Nepal as illegal immigrants.

The UNHCR, however, has recognized them as refugees.
