The UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has sought access for the UN partners, including the UNHCR, to the Rohingya people who have been relocated to the Bhasan Char island.
‘UNHCR and UN partners seek access to them in order to hear their voices, understand their wishes and see conditions on the island,’ Filippo Grandi said in a tweet, adding that any transfer must follow a voluntary and informed decision.
The Bangladesh government has recently relocated a total of 1,642 displaced Rohingya people of Myanmar to Bhasan Char from Cox’s Bazar camps amid concerns of the UN offices in Bangladesh and protest from several foreign rights bodies.
