Narayan Kumar Subedi's son Ashish, a deported Bhutanese refugee, represents a tragic cycle of statelessness among displaced individuals. After a police incident in the U.S., Ashish was deported back to Bhutan, a place he fled decades ago due to persecution. For Ashish and others, returning isn't a homecoming but an abandonment by both Bhutan and Nepal, leaving them trapped in legal limbo. Narayan, living in a refugee camp in Nepal, is further distressed by the complexities surrounding his son's status as the family seeks legal recourse.
"Narayan Kumar Subedi received distressing news that his son Ashish was being deported from the U.S. after a domestic dispute, revealing the complexities of refugee status."
"The surreal situation left Ashish and nine other Bhutanese refugees stateless—abandoned by Bhutan, expelled by the U.S., and detained in Nepal, questioning their identity and future."
