BANGLADESH promised “stern action” against those responsible for the assassination of a Rohingya Muslim leader who was shot dead in a refugee camp on Wednesday.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen vowed today to bring the killers of 46-year-old Mohib Ullah, who was gunned down in the Kutupalong camp in Cox’s Bazar, to justice.
“The government will take stern action against those who were involved in the killing. No-one will be spared,” he said.
Mr Ullah fled Myanmar in 2017 as government forces led a brutal crackdown on the country’s sizeable Rohingya Muslim minority, in what the United Nations has deemed a genocide.
He was the head of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights and campaigned for the Rohingya’s return to their homes in Rakhine State.
Despite living in squalid conditions in what is said to be the world’s largest refugee camp, he had gathered masses of papers and evidence documenting the atrocities of Myanmar’s military.
