Cut economic ties with Myanmar

NHRC chief urges int'l community

Diplomatic Correspondent
National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Kazi Reazul Hoque yesterday stressed the need for imposing sanction on Myanmar by the international community to resolve the ongoing Rohingya crisis.
He said the international community should put more pressure on Myanmar for repatriation of the forcible displaced minorities.
Speaking before high government and UN officials, rights activists, civil society representatives and others, he also called for a comprehensive investigation into Myanmar's abuses against its Rohingya population.
He said the international community should impose sanction and cut economic ties with Myanmar for its "widespread,
systematic and shockingly brutal" attacks on the Rohingya, as well as decades of discrimination and persecution.
NHRC organised the views-exchange programme, "Rohingya influx and its impact on locality: Role of stakeholders for durable solution" at a hotel in Dhaka.
He said the International Criminal Court should be provided with all sort of assistance so that they can hold the perpetrators responsible through inquiries.
Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque said Bangladesh is engaged in "multi-prone diplomatic" efforts to resolve the crisis and the deal signed between Myanmar and Bangladesh clearly calls for a safe, sustainable and voluntary return of Rohingyas to their homeland.
He said a Bangladesh delegation led by Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali will visit
Northern Rakhine state in Myanmar this month to see whether right conditions are there for their safe and sustainable return.
Home Secretary (Public Security Division) Mostafa Kamal Uddin said if the Rohingya crisis prolongs it would create an adverse impact on the security situation as the refugees might be victims of radicalisation and extremism.
UN Resident Coordinator Mia Sappo expressed her frustration over the under-funding in regards to the international commitment over humanitarian response to Rohingya refugees.
Abul Kalam of Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commission (RRRC), based in Cox's Bazar, said the Rohingya influx has taken immense toll on the locality.
Mohsin Ali, executive director of Wave Foundation, urged the government to ensure financial support to local farmers and fishermen.
Khushi Kabir, coordinator of Nijera Kari, said immediate repatriation of Rohingyas is necessary, as it has started to pose a threat to the local community.
Shifa Hafiz of Ain O Salish Kendra said there should be better coordination between local and international NGOs.
Sabnam Azim, an assistant professor of Dhaka University, feared about radicalisation and spread of militancy if the Myanmar nationals continue to live in Bangladesh for a long time.
