New Zealand tribunal denies 40 asylum requests tied to Khalistan movement
The Immigration and Protection Tribunal of New Zealand has turned down every one of the 40 asylum applications connected to the Khalistan movement that were processed during 2025 and 2026. The tribunal clarified that simply participating in protests or casting a vote in a non-binding Khalistan referendum is insufficient to qualify for refugee status. According to the ruling, claimants are required to prove that Indian officials are informed about their actions and that they are at risk of actual persecution.
