91 Rohingyas handed over to Myanmar border guards

The handover took place through a meeting between the BGB and Myanmar BGP on Ghumdhum border in Nakkhanchhari upazila of Bandarban district on Wednesday morning. BGB Cox's Bazar sector acting commander Anisur Rahman, 34 Battalion Commander Imra Ullah and Executive Magistrate Imrul Kayes were present during the incident. Bangladesh Navy detained the Myanmar nationals in 2015 inside the Bangladesh territory in the sea and a court sentenced them in jail for trespassing. The repatriations come at a time of crisis for the Rohingya people, who have reported being terrorised by security forces in Rakhine state of Myanmar following a militant raid on a police checkpoint last month. On Wednesday, the UN rights agency said at least 10,000 Rophingya have since fled into neighbouring Bangladesh.
