Violence between Muslim and Christian Rohingya in Kutupalong

Shukkur, a muslim rohingya, alleges he was taken inside a building and beaten by christian Rohingya in Kutupalong refugee camp, 26th January, 2020.
On the night of 26th January, violence broke out in Bangladesh’s Kutupalong refugee camp between christian and muslim Rohingya. As a result, several christians required immediate hospitalisation, and seventeen christian families within Kutupalong have been removed to the transit camp ( a transit centre where refugees stay prior to allocation to a particular camp). Tensions have long simmered between the small christian community (approximately 1500 strong), and their muslim compatriots. Occasionally these tensions spill over into violence. According to the christians, this episode is the worst in the history of Rohingya christian/muslim relations. 



Interview with Nay San Lwin and Shukkur.


We hear first from Shukkur, the young muslim Rohingya at the centre of this violent episode. We then speak to Nay San Lwin. He is a prominent muslim Rohingya activist, and indeed certain christians have appealed to him for intervention on the matter. This podcast will be followed by another featuring Simon, a christian Rohingya residing in India. Unseen footage will also be included in that post.








22 homes belonging to christians were damaged. A dozen christians ended up in hospital.
