DHAKA, 30 September 2021, (TON): Unidentified criminals shot Rohingya rights activist and leader Mohibullah dead at his office in Kutupalong camp under Cox's Bazar's Ukhia upazila last night.

Rohingyas in camps of Kutupalong are tensed with police and local administration issuing an alert across the district to avert further violence.

Residents of the camps questioned how the criminals entered, shot Mohibullah and then fled despite the presence of law enforcement personnel inside the camp.

Police said “Mohibullah came to his Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) camp-1 east office after offering Esha prayers around 8:30pm. Three armed men then entered and fired five bullets.

Additional Deputy Inspector General (DIG) (crime) of Chattogram Range Police Jakir Hossain Khan told media "three bullets hit his [Mohibullah's] chest, leaving him critically injured. The criminals fled the scene immediately afterwards.

The DIG said "he was taken to Kutupalong MSF Hospital where doctors declared him dead.”

Mohibullah was the chairman of Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace & Human Rights (ARSPH) and played a vital role in the Rohingya repatriation process, according to police.
