Translation Summary: The Bangladesh government has started sending Rohingyas to Bhasanchar to ease the pressure on more than 1.1 million Rohingya refugees in Teknaf and Ukhia refugee camps in Cox's Bazar. More than a thousand Rohingyas from various refugee camps in Cox's Bazar were taken to Chittagong by bus from Ukhia Degree College ground in Cox's Bazar on Thursday. First, they will be stationed at the Bangladesh Navy base in Chittagong, from where they will be sent to Bhasanchar by 14 ships of the Bangladesh Navy. Many of the Rohingya families who have gone to Bhasanchar have expressed interest in going there themselves.

There are specifics in the resolution which is still in draft form and the final approved version will be released shortly. It will not be appropriate to discuss the resolution which is in draft form. He said, it is very important to remain fully engaged with OIC and The Gambia, providing them with all the necessary support in the case, including the Arakan Rohingya Union’s regular report and advising on the issues on the ground.
