173 Bangladeshis repatriated from Myanmar | VOA News
One hundred and seventy-three Bangladeshi nationals who were imprisoned in Rakhine, Myanmar, returned to Bangladesh from Myanmar by sea on Wednesday.
Officials of the Bangladesh border security agency Border Guard Bangladesh said a Myanmar navy ship, the Chin Dwin, left Cox's Bazar port early Thursday morning with Myanmar police and immigration officials on board. The same ship brought the freed 173 Bangladeshi fishermen the previous day.
The Myanmar security personnel fled the fighting last month in the province of Rakhine between Myanmar's military and rebel Arakan Army and took shelter in Bangladesh. This was the second such incident of Myanmar border police and officials escaping to Bangladesh in as many months.
The Myanmar province of Rakhine, which borders Bangladesh, has been the site of heavy fighting between the rebels and Yangon's forces since October. While the Arakan Army is mostly ethnic Rakhine, the Muslim Rohingyas have borne the brunt of the Myanmar military's actions over the past few decades. Over a million Rohingyas who fled atrocities by the military in 2017 are currently living in makeshift shelters in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar district.
