UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar Yanghee Lee is now in Cox's Bazar on a three-day visit to see the Rohingya situation, amid Myanmar's refusal to grant her access to Rakhine State.
She arrived here yesterday noon and visited a Rohingya camp on the zero line at Tumbru Konarkpara in Naikkhonchhari upazila of Bandarban.
The UN expert talked to some persecuted Rohingya women and children, and assured them of standing beside them.
She also spoke to the officials of Border Guard Bangladesh to know the border situation.
Later, Lee visited a UNHCR transit centre at Kutupalong of Ukhiya and talked to Rohingyas staying there.
She, however, did not talk to reporters, saying she will brief them in Dhaka at the end of her visit.
Lee arrived in Bangladesh on Saturday and held a meeting with Foreign Minister Abdul Momen at his office on Sunday.
