The University of Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum has handed over the remains of 39 Naga people to a delegation from Nagaland, India. The remains, mostly skulls taken during British colonial rule, are expected to be returned to Nagaland for burial beneath a planned joint memorial.
Key Facts
About 30 people from Nagaland attended the handover ceremony at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford.
The museum removed the remains from public display in 2020 as part of what it called a decolonisation process.
The museum’s collection includes more than 6,000 objects associated with Naga culture.
The museum lists 219 items in its collection as human remains, many acquired between 1910 and 1940.
The museum says objects collected during that period were often taken during punitive military expeditions rather than freely given.
Naga leaders formally requested the return during a visit to Oxford in 2025.
The museum has previously returned human remains to Indigenous communities in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

A drone attack on Iraq’s Khor Mor gasfield sparked a fire and halted gas supplies to several power stations, reducing electricity generation in areas governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered a joint investigation, while the attack heightened concerns about energy security amid regional tensions and political divisions over armed groups and Kurdish governance.
Key Facts
The attack took place late Sunday at the Khor Mor gasfield in Sulaimaniyah governorate in northern Iraq.

A woman identified as Jane told the BBC that a man she met through the Muslim marriage website Muzz misled her about his identity and intentions before their Islamic wedding in Lancashire. He texted her five days later saying the marriage was over; he denies her allegations, and the BBC reports that the ceremony was not a civil marriage legally recognized in England and Wales.
Key Facts
Jane said she met the man online about 10 months before their wedding and spoke with him for six months before meeting in person.
Jane said she believed the man was named Adam and lived in Manchester.
She later discovered that his name was different and that he was already married, according to her account.
The couple took part in a nikah ceremony in Brierfield, Lancashire, on 2 June.
A nikah is an Islamic marriage ceremony or contract, but it is not the same as a civil marriage legally recognized in England and Wales.
Jane said she received a text ending the marriage five days after the ceremony.
The man's lawyers rejected Jane's allegations, called them false and unsupported, and said he had not deceived her about his previous marriage.
The imam who conducted the ceremony acknowledged mistakes in checking identification and said he helped uncover the man's identity.
