Mohammed Imran, the author of this letter to Bangladesh
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is a credentialed former camp leader of
Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar.
The letter is an appeal to the prime minister to
reconsider a recent Bangladesh government decision to relocate Rohingya
refugees from existing refugee camps to the Thengar Char area.
After failing to get the letter sent to the Bangladesh
government via the camp in-charge, an employee of the government, he sent it to
the Dhaka Tribune requesting that it be published.
Originally from Myanmar, where they are now denied
citizenship, the Rohingya have been described by UN agencies as the most
persecuted minority in the world.
