Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Sunday arrested one of the main coordinators of the killing of Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah. 

The Arakan Salvation Army (Arsa) Commander Nur Kamal alias Samiuddin has been arrested from the Kutupalong area of the Ukhiya Rohingya camp in Cox's Bazar.

Senior Assistant Director (Law and Media) of RAB-15 Md Abu Salam Chowdhury said they have seized local and foreign weapons from Samiuddin’s possession. 

Mohib Ullah was the chairman of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH), which has been facilitating the documentation of human rights abuses in Myanmar in 2016 and 2017.

He was shot dead by gunmen at the ARSPH office in the Rohingya camp in Ukhiya on the night of September 29, 2021.

On September 30, his younger brother Habibullah filed the murder case with the Ukhiya police station against unidentified attackers. 

Mohib Ullah's assassination is believed to be the most high-profile killing that has happened in the Rohingya camps of south-eastern Bangladesh. The assassination led to worldwide outrage, with the international community condemning the murder.
