Home Minister Asadzzaman Khan Kamal says that he would visit Myanmar this month to discuss the smooth and immediate repatriation of the Rohingyas, who have fled to Bangladesh for persecution in Rakhine state.

The international community must help ensure that no Rohingya refugees are forced back to Myanmar as long as they remain at risk of serious human rights violations following the army’s vicious campaign of ethnic cleansing, Amnesty International says.

Bangladesh solicits support from the UN to ensure the return of the forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals to their homeland in Myanmar.
