Rohingyas return home from B’desh

Dhaka: Hundreds of Rohingyas who fled to Bangladesh to escape persecution in Myanmar have returned home, community leaders said on Sunday, adding most had gone back temporarily to fetch relatives. Tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled across the border from Myanmar’s western state of Rakhine since October to escape a bloody crackdown by troops and police. Hundreds from the Rohingya Muslim minority are thought to have died.
