Cox’s Bazar: Bangladesh police shot dead a third Rohingya after they were accused of the murder of a ruling party official that has sparked anger among the population.Nearly a million Rohingya live in squalid camps in south-east Bangladesh, 740,000 of whom fled a 2017 military offensive against the Muslim minority in Myanmar.
Police said Mohammad Hasan, a suspected Rohingya “dacoit” or gang member, was shot dead after he allegedly opened fire at officers during a raid to arrest him at Jadimura refugee camp.
On Saturday, police said they had shot dead two Rohingya refugees at the same refugee camp in the Cox’s Bazar district over their alleged roles in the murder. The incident comes days after a second failed attempt to repatriate the refugees which saw not a single Rohingya turn up to return across the border to conflict-scarred Rakhine state.
