NSTworld Bangladesh intercepts Malaysia-bound boat carrying 119 Rohingya
Nearly one million Rohingya live in squalid camps near Bangladesh’s border with Myanmar, many fleeing the neighbouring country after a brutal military crackdown began in 2017.
The vessel was found in the Bay of Bengal, just off the coast of Bangladesh’s southern Saint Martin’s island, after a tip-off by fishermen, coast guard spokesman Saiful Islam told AFP. So far this year, Bangladesh’s law enforcement agencies have picked up over 500 Rohingya from coastal villages and boats as they waited to board boats bound for Malaysia.
