Rohingya refugees face mobile phone blackouts

Aljazeera
21 September 2019

The Bangladeshi government orders ban on the sale of SIM cards to a million Rohingya in the world’s biggest refugee camp. 


Last week, we received a WhatsApp message from a Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh. It may have been one of the last messages he could send.

Earlier this month, the Bangladeshi government ordered telecommunications companies to stop selling SIM cards and shut down mobile phone services to nearly one million Rohingya refugees living in sprawling camps in Cox's Bazar.

The government claimed the order was made on "security grounds", but human rights groups and Rohingya refugees say the move would "further isolate and victimise the already persecuted people".

This week, we take you to Cox's Bazar to learn what a communications blackout would mean for hundreds of thousands Rohingya refugees.
