Foreign minister: NGOs working in Rohingya camps to face action if violate terms

Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas

Update : 29 Aug 2019, 07:12 PM

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has said action will be taken against NGOs operating in Rohingya camps, if they violate terms.

The minister said if evidence is found against the NGOs about their activities that go beyond the terms and references, action will be taken against them. 

He made the remarks while talking to reporters at state guesthouse Padma in Dhaka on Thursday, after briefing diplomats over the latest Rohingya situation.   

Momen briefed the diplomats and representatives of the UN agencies as two consecutive efforts to begin the repatriation of the displaced people have failed.

State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam and Foreign Secretary M Shahidul Haque were president.             

The briefing focused on the latest thwarted repatriation issue due to the intransigence attitude of Myanmar.

It also highlighted Myanmar's blame game and the need to keep up the international pressure on Myanmar, especially on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that begins in September.

Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.1 million Rohingyas.

More than 730,000 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh after the Myanmar military launched a brutal offensive targeting the mainly-Muslim ethnic minority on August 25, 2017. A UN fact-finding mission said the violence had "genocidal intent".
