Rohingya are still fleeing due to systemic persecution in Rakhine state by the Burmese Military and due to fighting between Arakan Army & Myanmar’s Military, people face triple victimization. On the other side the living condition in Cox’s Bazar refugee camps is also very poor, that’s why Rohingyas are still fleeing to find a safe & better place, even though there is a high risk of their journey to ASEAN countries by boat Mr.Samiullah told. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations have the responsibility to solve the boat people crisis as Myanmar is a member country however the ASEAN does not want to put interference as a guiding principle in ASEAN relations. According to international human rights law, if any person fleeing from his/her own country to escape persecution, he/she should not be pushed back, where is no security of live . “I believe ASEAN never did that and in the future, if there is repatriation process from Bangladesh, definitely the ASEAN-members like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand would ask Myanmar to take back Rohingya refugee from their countries, he said to VOA Rohingya Lifeline in an interview.
