Teknaf- An investigation team comprising of ten officials from the Myanmar government visited the Rohingya refugee camp of Kutupalong on Sunday.
The team first went to the office of the Cox’s Bazar District Commissioner at around 11am.
At around 1pm, they went to Kutupalong refugee camp where they held meetings in the UNHCR and the CMC (Camp Management Committee) office.
After that they were taken to the unregistered camps to talk with refugees who had fled during the 2012 and 2016 violence.
The interviews were conducted rather swiftly and they left the camp at around 3pm.
During this time, some Rohingyas held banners protesting state atrocities in Myanmar but they had been instructed by Bangladesh authorities to maintain a low profile and did not even voice slogans.
The team is scheduled to visit the Leda and newly constructed Balu Khali camp on Monday.
There have been controversies surrounding the neutrality of the investigation teams and many UN officials have called for the formation of an UN probe team instead.
