Four teams of Members of European Parliament (MEPs) comprising 11 MEPs will visit a Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar on Monday to see their plight on the ground. They will go to Cox’s Bazar from Dhaka on the same day and spend the whole day in Rohingya camp on Monday, an official told UNB. The delegation members will also discuss trade and rights issues during their visit. Some of the MEPs are likely to visit Myanmar after completing Bangladesh visit to see what steps are taken in Myanmar side to ensure safe return of Rohingyas, officials said. The only thing is to put more pressure on Myanmar,” EU Head of Delegation Ambassador Rensje Teerink told UNB recently.
