Elite Bangladesh police forces have launched a crackdown on criminals and suspected insurgents in Rohingya refugee camps, following an upsurge in attacks on camp officials, police officials said Sunday.

The “armed police battalion” in charge of security in 34 camps housing about one million Rohingya refugees said it had arrested at least 56 people since Friday night.

About 740,000 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh to escape a military campaign against them in Myanmar in 2017, joining more than 200,000 Rohingya who were previously in camps in Cox’s Bazar, southeastern Bangladesh.

Human rights groups filed a criminal lawsuit in Argentina on Wednesday, alleging that the government and military of Myanmar, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, have committed crimes against humanity and genocide against the ethnic Rohingya minority.

The Rohingya are a Muslim minority group in the Buddhist majority nation, residing largely in Rakhine state, which shares a border with Bangledesh. The complaint includes numerous accounts of mass killings, rapes and torture committed by government forces against Rohingya communities.
