Some 480,000 Rohingyas took shelter in Bangladesh in a month to escape violent crackdown in what the UN has described as ‘ethnic cleansing’. Over 400,000 Rohingya Muslims have already been living in Bangladesh for decades. But Suu Kyi’s statement has raised a question: How these people who were forcibly displaced from the Rakhine State and took shelter inside Bangladesh will be verified. “We are proposing a UN-led verification process,” a foreign ministry official who cannot be named told bdnews24.com. A diplomat who visited Rohingya refugee camps told bdnews24.com that “it is unlikely that they hold any cards issued by Burmese authorities”.
