B’desh moves more Rohingya refugees to remote island

CHITTAGONG: Bangladesh on Friday moved more than 1,750 Rohingya people to a island in the Bay of Bengal despite complaints made by refugees already there. Officials said over 3,000 Rohingya would be taken by boat to Bhashan Char island on Friday and Saturday from congested camps on Bangladesh’s border with Myanmar. Bangladesh has struggled to cope with more than 700,000 Rohingya who fled across the frontier in 2017 after a Myanmar military crackdown on the Muslim minority.
