Rohingyas still entering BD territories
Saturday, 21 June 2014
Despite the increased vigilance along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, Rohingyas are still managing to enter the country’s water territories in small fishing boats and board small ships that reportedly take them away to Malaysia. According to sources at the home ministry, the small ships used to deport the Rohingyas to the third country are anchored somewhere along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border and the illegal trafficking is run by a cartel comprised of people from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand. Talking to UNB, Deputy Commissioner of Cox’s Bazar Ruhul Amin admitted that Rohingyas used to enter the country in groups through sea routes in the guise of fishermen.
