周二，数万名居住在孟加拉国难民营的缅甸罗兴亚难民举行集会，要求安全返回缅甸若开邦，并纪念“罗兴亚种族灭绝日”九周年1。目前，超过100万名罗兴亚难民生活在孟加拉国东南部科克斯巴扎尔区周边的难民营中1。其中大多数人是在2017年缅甸在若开邦发起镇压后逃离的。2017年镇压后，超过70万名难民获准进入孟加拉国，加上此前已居住在那里的逾30万人1。
孟加拉国政府曾至少两次尝试启动遣返工作，但因难民担忧安全问题而未能成功1。缅甸军方支持的政府本月表示，一旦安全条件改善，将接收超过30万名罗兴亚难民返回1。对此，孟加拉国对缅甸的统计数据提出异议，并反对其拒绝使用“罗兴亚”一词而将其称为“孟加拉人”的做法1。此外，国际法院于今年1月就缅甸涉嫌对罗兴亚人实施种族灭绝一案举行听证会，缅甸方面在庭上辩称其行动是合法的打击恐怖主义行动1。
Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees held a rally in the camps around Cox’s Bazar district in southeastern Bangladesh on Tuesday to demand a safe return to Myanmar and mark the Ninth Anniversary of Rohingya Genocide Day 1. More than 1 million Rohingya refugees live in these camps, and most fled in 2017 after Myanmar launched a crackdown in Rakhine state 1. After the 2017 crackdown, more than 700,000 refugees were allowed into Bangladesh, in addition to over 300,000 who were already living there 1.
The Bangladesh government attempted repatriation at least twice but failed as refugees cited security concerns 1. Myanmar’s military-backed government said it will accept the return of more than 300,000 Rohingya refugees once security conditions improve, but Bangladesh disputed Myanmar’s statistics and its refusal to use the term “Rohingya,” labeling them “Bengali” instead 1. In January, the International Court of Justice held hearings accusing Myanmar of genocide against the Rohingya 1. Myanmar told the court its campaign was a legitimate counter-terrorism operation 1.
