Authorities in India's Assam demolish homes of 132 Muslim families
Authorities in India's Assam state have demolished the homes of 132 Muslim families.
The authorities say the families were illegally encroaching on government land, and that the eviction was carried out on that basis.
Residents, however, say they settled there after fleeing the 1983 anti-Muslim riots.
Researchers say the evictions in Assam have disproportionately targeted Bengali-origin Muslims.
The number of families affected by this demolition stands at 132, according to the report.
