Rohingya Leader Muhibullah Family of Rohingya leader Muhibullah leaves Bangladesh
Own Correspondent, Dhaka, April 1: Family members of Rohingya organization Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH)'s leader Muhibullah, who was shot dead by miscreants, have left Bangladesh for Canada.
The family boarded a Turkish Airlines flight at 11 pm on Thursday, according to a source.
According to Muhibullah's organization Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH), 11 members of the Rohingya leader's family, including his wife Nasima Khatun, nine children and son-in-laws, have been relocated to Canada in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The Canadian government is expected to grant them refugee status.
Muhibullah (48) was shot dead by miscreants at a Rohingya asylum camp in Ukhia, Cox's Bazar on the night of September 29, 2021. His family has blamed ARSA (Arakan Salvation Army), an armed group of Myanmar, for the killing.
The family claims Muhibullah was killed because he was active in the Rohingya repatriation and became popular in the camp. Since then, Muhibullah's family has been talking about insecurity. They had applied to two international organizations for asylum abroad.
Muhibullah's younger brother Habibullah said, "My brother used to come forward to solve any problem of Rohingyas. He worked for a long time to realize their rights. Not only here, but also in the international arena, my brother was known. Maybe the gunmen killed him to block that path."
