A diverse group of leaders from Canada and the U.S. has written to the foreign minister of Bangladesh asking him to stop the relocation of some Rohingya refugees to an island 60 km from the mainland.
In 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims fled murder, rape and arson by security forces in their homeland of Myanmar. They fled to Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh where their numbers grew to 860,000 people living in what became the world’s largest refugee settlement.
Canada sent a special envoy to assess the violent events in Myanmar and, based on his report, the Canadian government declared the crimes against the Rohingya constituted genocide. It also revoked the honorary citizenship of Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s civilian leader.
