About
Mohamad Faisal Nurul Amin is the son of Nurul Amin Shah, a 56-year-old Rohingya refugee from Myanmar. Shah's death is currently newsworthy because authorities have ruled it a homicide. Shah, who was visually impaired, was dropped off at a Tim Hortons parking lot in Buffalo, New York, by US border patrol agents on February 19th and died five days later on February 24th. The agents did not notify his family, including Mohamad Faisal Nurul Amin, or his attorney. The family had been eagerly awaiting Shah's arrival after nearly a year of separation. The incident has sparked outrage and demands for answers regarding the actions of the US border agents and the circumstances surrounding Shah's death, raising concerns about the treatment of refugees and the accountability of border patrol.
