Bangladesh President Abdul Hamid has accused Burma's military of committing "ruthless atrocities" against Rohingya Muslims and demanded international help to return them safely to their homes and integrate them into Burmese society. The president said thousands of Rohingya men, women and children had been killed, their homes burned to ashes, and thousands of women raped. He said Bangladesh has welcomed the refugees with open arms, but now there is a "shared responsibility" to safely return them to Burma and help them integrate into "social, economic and political life". A Christian priest went missing in northern Bangladesh on Tuesday, and his family reported that they had received calls demanding money.
