He’s been force hydrated, but hasn’t eaten in 75 days?!!!!! The stomach starts to deteriorate when it only receives water. He could die soon. He’s one of five in that one facility? And there’s others?

He has video of being persecuted as a religious minority in India, but they won’t allow him to submit evidence?!

Has been jailed for nearly a year? And his asylum case hasn’t advanced further, even though he has sponsors waiting?

This is unacceptable, and I don’t know what to do. They need more media attention. Right now.
