Rohingya
leaders in Bangladesh expressed optimism on Monday about getting
justice for alleged crimes against humanity committed in Myanmar’s
Rakhine state, after the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor
wrapped up his first visit to refugee camps.
Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan said The Hague-based ICC had authorized an investigation in November 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic had slowed efforts to visit Bangladesh to gather evidence at Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar, a southeastern district along the border with Myanmar.
