Bangladesh rejects claims of refugee neglect
The Africa News.Net
Wednesday 10th March, 2010
Bangladesh has been accused of starving and blocking medical treatment for Rohingya refugees.
The refugees, locked up in open-air prisons, have been forced to flee Myanmar where they were persecuted by that country’s military dictatorship.
A US medical charity has warned the Rohingya are facing starvation.
The Physicians for Human Rights group has blamed the Bangladesh government for lack of care of the refugees, as well as arbitrary arrests, illegal expulsion and forced internment.
Bangladeshi authorities have granted refugee status to the Rohingya, who live in United Nations refugee camps in Kutupalong.
The Bangladeshi government has said the numbers of refugees have recently swelled to around 300,000, causing them to crack down on refugees generally, trying to stop them from entering the country.
Dhaka has rejected the charges of refusing aid to the Rohingya, calling them totally false.
Rohingya people are some of the poorest and most persecuted ethnic groups in the world.
Myanmar’s military regime has denied them citizenship and refused to let them own land, to travel or marry without first getting permission from the authorities.  Email this story to a friend

why they have to flee?
the question why they flee?, rohingya as another muslims trouble maker tried to rebel and make a separate muslim country for them, they just like bastard muslims uyghur in china and checnya in rusia who come as immigrant and after breeding as pigs they began to demand their own country, just serve their right now that even in the muslim country as their religion like bangaldesh they have to starve, this kind of people should not deserve any pity since they always make problem, just like muslims in india, philippines, all european country, united states , britain, rusia, australia, china, vietnam, myanmar, thailand , nigeria, and many more all of them muslims and all of them are trouble maker, do I slandered them? you judge it, but you know that all I stated above are true, and the country I mentioned really have big problem with islam trouble maker, not another existing religion, only with muslims, and that’s why they reject muslims immigrant now.

send them to a welcoming islamic country like sudan, yemen, pakistan, iran, iraq, etc. Better, send them to a gulf state where they can work for 20cents a day, get beaten and starved and have horrific industrial accidents
