A group of more than 1,700 Rohingya Muslim refugees set sail for a remote island in the Bay of Bengal.

They are the newest addition to the roughly 3,500 Rohingya refugees from neighbouring Myanmar that Bangladesh has sent to the island of Bhasan Char since early December, from border camps where a million live in ramshackle huts.

"Tomorrow they will be moved to Bhasan Char. All together we are expecting 3,000-plus people," Chowdhury said. Bangladesh says the relocation is voluntary, but some of the first group, sent in December, spoke of being coerced. "This is going nowhere, the way the international community is handling our crisis," he told Reuters by mobile telephone.
