A Supreme Court lawyer filed a petition with the High Court seeking its directives on the government to let oppressed Rohingyas in.
Advocate Abu Yahia Dulal filed the petition requesting to the High Court to order the authorities concerned of the government to temporarily open the Bangladesh-Myanmar border so Rohingya Muslims can take shelter in Bangladesh.
He said in the petition that the repressed Rohingya people should be allowed to enter Bangladesh on humanitarian grounds.
In the petition he pled to the court to issue a rule asking the authorities to explain as to why preventing them from entering Bangladesh should not be declared inhuman and illegal.
