A Rohingya refugee collects her belongings in a house in Nayapara refugee camp in Bangladesh a day after Cyclone Mocha made landfall in May 15, 2023. Donor governments and the United Nations should intervene and call for a halt to any Rohingya repatriation to Myanmar’s Rakhine State until the conditions for them are safe, Human Rights Watch said in a statement on Thursday.
Over a million Rohingya refugees have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh in successive waves since the early 1990s. In 2017, when violence broke out in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, over 742,000 people sought refuge in Bangladesh. “Bangladesh is frustrated with its burden as host, but sending refugees back to the control of a ruthless Myanmar junta will just be setting the stage for the next devastating exodus,” Bauchner cautioned.HRW interviewed some of the Rohingya refugees who were part of the visit to the Rakhine State.
The Rohingya delegation visited the barb-wire-surrounded Hla Poe Kaung transit camp and Kyein Chaung resettlement camp in Rakhine State’s Maungdaw township.
