In the human rights report prepared by a group of Muslim refugees in Bangladesh around the Rohingya refugee camps shows figures that the number of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh may exceed 700 thousand refugees threshold.
And registered among them with the refugee agency of the United Nations is only 30 thousand refugees and the rest of unregistered refugees do not have protection from UNHCR because they arrived after the cessation of the Government of Bangladesh for granting refugee status to Rohingya Muslim from Burma, escaping persecutions against them by Buddhist majority and Government itself.
The report draws on many of its chapters on the latest MSF Reports on Human Rights, which affirms that the Bangladeshi authorities has performed unprecedented and arbitrary arrests carried out in unlawful expulsion, forced detention against Rohingya refugees in an apparent attempt to deter a further influx of refugees fleeing from oppression.
Bangladesh authorities like the police and security forces have to arrest, imprisonment and expulsion without trials against unregistered refugees across the Burmese border.
Arbitrary detention and forced expulsion by the Bangladeshi authorities has led to restrict all attempts to get out of the camps, the officials claims refugees called the camp an open prison, because the refugees are afraid to leave the camp.
The report points out that tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslim refugees who are not registered in the temporary camp in Bangladesh have no access to food aid and 25% of children suffer from acute malnutrition, 55% of children between 6 and 59 months suffers from diarrhea, and 95% of the refugees borrow and beg to eat.
The report suggests that the Bangladeshi authorities hamper international aid and humanitarian relief that link to unregistered refugees, the report adds that the Bangladeshi authorities have arrested four employees of an international humanitarian organization for the (crime) to provide assistance to Muslim refugees who are not registered, and British Islamic Relief Organization suspended humanitarian operations in one of the camps since 28 February 2010 due to the Bangladeshi government refused to agree to humanitarian activities that benefit these refugees.The report concludes painful raised the alarm about the plight of informal Muslim Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh Muslim chapters!
