Staff Reporter :
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Tuesday urged the Security Council of the United Nations (UN) to put pressure on Myanmar government to stop atrocities on Rohingya people.
The lawyers’ organization also demanded taking back of Rohingya people from Bangladesh respectfully and restoring their citizenship.
Supreme Court Bar arranged a press conference at the bar building addressing on Rohingya crisis. The organization placed seven-point demands to end the crisis.
Bar President and Senior Advocate Zainul Abedin read out a report in the conference. Justice Khademul Islam Chowdhury, Senior Vice-President of the bar Advocate Ozi Ullah and Senior Assistant Secretary Advocate Shamima Sultana Dipti were
present along with others. Advocate Zainul urged the world community to create pressure on Myanmar government to amend the Citizenship Act of 1982 in order to restore citizenship to the Rohingyas. He also urged realisation of Kofi Annan report on Rohingyas.
Rohingya crisis is one of the greatest human disasters in the history of remembrance. So it is very urgent to face the crisis.
A horrific human disaster can happen in this area if the international communities and big powers of the world like China, Russia and India fail to arrange a peacefull solution of the crisis by returning the Rohingyas to Myanmar with citizenship and security right, SCBA thinks.
Advocate Zainul Abedin also said that they had sent a 51 member relief team on September 22 in 2017 to aid the Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar. They distributed 1000 sack of relief materials and helped 250 Rohingyas in cash in cooperation with the local administration and police, the report said.
