The Ministry of Home Affairs has directed the law-enforcing agencies to arrest Rohingyas living outside the refugee camps in Bandarban and Cox’s bazaar as many of them were found involved in militancy. The Myanmar ethnic Muslim minority known as Rohingyas, who fled to Bangladesh to reportedly avoid military persecution, were kept under strict vigilance as many of them were found linked with the local Islamic militants.The ministry, however, asked the agencies to deal with Rohingya very cautiously as a number of international human rights bodies were found apparently sympathetic about Rohingyas who had taken shelter in Bangladesh legally or illegally at different places of the two districts bordering Myanmar. The government sounded the alert after the arrest of 25 Rohingyas in Chittagong and their subsequent statements admitting their link with the local militants involved in the August 17 countrywide series of blasts.
