DHAKA, 14 December 2021, (TON): UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Tom Andrews, has said that the world must not forget the one million Rohingyas, who faced genocidal attacks in Myanmar and now are living in Bangladesh.
He made the comment as he started his first mission to Bangladesh today, which will last until December 19.
Andrews in a statement said "the world must not forget the roughly one million Rohingya from Myanmar forced to run for their lives from the military's genocidal attack against them. The Rohingya want nothing more than to return to their homes in Myanmar, when conditions allow for their safe, dignified and sustainable return.”
The special rapporteur is set to visit Dhaka, the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, and Bhasan Char where many Rohingyas have been relocated.
Andrews will meet representatives of the government, as well as UN officials, representatives of civil society organisations and members of the Rohingya community.
