The killing incident of Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah will not make any impact on repatriation of Rohingya people to their homeland Myanmar, said Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen.
“Five persons have been arrested over Mohib Ullah killing. The government is taking into account the incident with due importance,” he told journalists at the Cox’s Bazar airport after visiting the Kutupalong Rohingya camp at Ukhia in the district on Saturday.
Momen said they have talked with the family of Mohib Ullah and the government is also giving importance to provide security to the family. Any kind of irregularity in the camp will not be spared, he said.
The foreign secretary said different initiatives are underway for initiating the repatriation process while the United Nations also joined the process of shifting Rohingya people to Bhashan Char.
A four-member delegation of Foreign Ministry led by the foreign secretary visited Kutupalong Lambashia camp today. The delegation reached Cox’s Bazar on Friday on a two-day visit.
They talked with slain Mohib Ullah’s brother Habib Ullah. Besides, they also talked with other Rohingya people.
On September 29, Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah was shot dead by unidentified assailants at Ukhia Rohingya camp in the district.
bdnews24.com adds: Law enforcers have arrested five more men from the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya over the murder of Rohingya community
leader Mohammad Mohib Ullah.
Rohingya refugees say the arrestees are all members of the ‘Arakan Republican Salvation Army’ (ARSA), who Mohib Ullah’s family have blamed for his death.
The five were arrested after raids at different Rohingya camps in Ukhiya from Friday night until Saturday morning, said Md Naimul Haque, superintendent of police and captain of the 14th Armed Police Battalion (APBn).
The arrestees have been identified as Khaled Hossain, 33, Master Syed, 38, Mohammad Shaker, 35, Mohammad, 18, and Mohammad Ilias, 22.
The APBn had arrested six others a day earlier.
“A special APBn team conducted raids at various Ukhiya camps to maintain law and order in the wake of the killing of Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah,” said law enforcement officer Moinul.
“Five members of a militant outfit centred on the Rohingya camps were detained. They have been accused of extortion, murder, kidnapping, robbery, drug trafficking, human trafficking and assault on police in several cases with Ukhiya police.”
The APBn captain said the detainees were turned over to Ukhiya police.
A group of unidentified gunmen killed 48-year-old Mohib Ullah at a refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya on Sept 29.
Mohib Ullah was the chairman of moderate Rohingya group Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights and had come to be known as a ‘voice for the Rohingya’ in the Western media.
Amid international outcry over the murder, law enforcers have arrested five suspects believed to be involved with the killing. They are also conducting raids on the camps.
