28 October 2009
Most of them living in makeshift homes, unrecognised, and unwanted.
The construction of a barbed wire fence along Myanmar's border with Bangladesh has only increased the suffering of the Muslim Rohingya minority.
Hundreds of thousands have fled to Bangladesh, with most of them living in makeshift camps, unrecognised, and unwanted.

SRI On-Site Action Alert: Rohingya Burma and UNHCR’s repatriation program
SRI On-Site Action
Alert: Rohingya Burma and UNHCR’s
repatriation program[1]
July 17, 2003
Introduction[2]
The international community continues to be highly concerned about the curtailment of political and civil rights of the Burmese people by the military government. The recent crackdown on Aung Sun Su Kyi and the largest democratic party, the National League for Democracy (NLD) is an alarming indication that the recognition of the rights and aspirations of the people of Burma has been further marginalized.

BANGLADESH: ABUSE OF BURMESE REFUGEES FROM ARAKAN ( Asia Watch )
Asia Watch
A DIVISION OF HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH

BANGLADESH: ABUSE OF BURMESE REFUGEES FROM ARAKAN
Introduction
Beginning in late 1991, wide-scale atrocities committed by the Burmese military, including rape, forced labor, and religious persecution, triggered an exodus of ethnic Rohingya Muslims from the northwestern Burmese state of Arakan into Bangladesh.[1] Nearly 240,000 refugees, now housed in 19 camps in and around the Bangladeshi town of Cox's Bazar, face the prospect of possible mass repatriation when the 1993 rainy season ends in October. That repatriation would be cause for concern on two grounds. First, though talks have taken place between Burmese authorities and Mrs. Sadako Ogata, head of the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR) to allow a UNHCR presence inside Burma, no final agreement has yet been reached, and grave concerns remain about military abuses in Arakan and thus about the safety of repatriated refugees. Second, when mass repatriations took place in 1992, they became the occasion for coercion and physical abuse of refugees by Bangladeshi authorities, raising serious doubts about whether most returned voluntarily.
