Today Bangladeshi Officers have confirmed that the APBN has launched a crackdown against suspected criminals and insurgents after a rise in attacks on Rohingya community leaders in refugee camps.
Bangladeshi Police said, security in the camps has deteriorated sharply in recent months with at least 15 Rohingyas, more than half of them camp leaders, hacked to death or shot by rivals.
“We have launched ‘Operation Root Out’ on Friday and already we have arrested 56 Rohingya including 24 people involved in the murder of seven majhis (Rohingya community leaders) this month,” APBN spokesman Farouk Ahmed told AFP.
“They are terrorists. We will continue the drive and eliminate the terrorists who are disrupting security and peace in the camps,” he added.
