The killing of seven Rohingyas in grisly attack on Ukhiya camp

Media reports on Saturday said that at least seven Rohingyas have been killed and eight others injured in a fierce predawn attack by armed people on a madrasa-cum-mosque inside a remote refugee camp in Ukhiya Upazila of Cox’s Bazar. This tragic incident occurred early Friday after a block raid by the Armed Police Battalion. It happened just 23 days after the murder of prominent Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah in the Kutupalong refugee camp, raising questions over the security in camps housing around eleven lakh Rohingyas. Intelligence sources said that a group of about one hundred criminals attacked the madrasa and hacked its students and teachers in their sleep, leaving six dead. Of the six deceased, two were madrasa students and two teachers. Two have been identified as madrasa’s volunteers and another a resident of a camp. Since August 2017, at least 226 Rohingyas have been killed and some 1,298 cases filed accusing 2,850 individuals, mostly in connection with drugs and firearms.
Currently, the Rohingya refugees have become a matter of big worry for Bangladesh. The conditions in the camps are becoming terrible day by day. There has been a spike in crime, including rape, murder, abduction, drug, internal conflicts and human trafficking. The law enforcement agencies have hinted that Friday’s bloody attack was intended to silence those Rohingyas who are in favour of repatriation to their ancestral homes in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. The UN has asked Bangladesh to strengthen security in the camps. The police have arrested a suspect, Rohingya man named Mujibur Rahman, with a homemade gun, six bullets and a machete from the camp area.  
Some refugees and police officials suspect the murders could be linked to Arakan Rohingya Solidarity Army (ARSA), an insurgent group based in northern Rakhine State of Myanmar. After the killing of Mohib Ullah, criminals dared launch this attack. We want to say the attackers should be tracked down and punished. Concerned people have recently said that repatriation is the only solution to the Rohingya crisis and urged the international community to mount pressure on Myanmar to take back its nationals stuck in Bangladesh for four and a half years. They have accused the international community of maintaining a double standards policy regarding the Rohingya issue. If you can impose sanctions on Iran and North Korea, why would Myanmar not be slapped with such sanctions, they asked?
