Bangladesh to send back Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence

‘Bangladeshi police have detained dozens of Rohingya refugees, including women and children, who have fled Myanmar’s violence-ravaged Rakhine state.
Local police chief, Shyamol Kumar Nath, in the Bangladeshi border town of Cox’s Bazar said on Wednesday that security forces had detained 70 Rohingya Muslims and would send them back across the border.
“We nabbed them after they illegally trespassed (into Bangladesh). They will be pushed back (to Myanmar),” the police official said.
An estimated 500 Rohingya Muslims arrived in Bangladesh overnight, taking advantage of the darkness to evade detection. Over 2,000 have crossed the border in recent days, despite heavy security on both sides.’
