Terror risk of refuge camp ‘extremists’

- BY DAN WARBURTON in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

Beigbeder HALF a million refugees fleeing ethnic cleansing in Myanmar could be “tainted by extremism” in Bangladesh refugee camps if the world fails to act.

Unicef ’s Edouard Beigbeder said: “For people to go back we need to give them hope for the future.

“But there is a risk that this population will be tainted by extremism.

“Deciding early where to settle them and give them an education is important.”

More than 800,000 Rohingya Muslims have left after claims of murder, torture and rape by troops.

Leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been criticised for not denouncing it.

Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar region now has the world’s biggest refugee camp.
