DHAKA – Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh said on Saturday (May 6) they would not return to Myanmar to "be confined in camps" after making their first return visit as part of efforts to encourage their voluntary repatriation. Nearly a million Rohingya Muslims live in squalid camps in the Bangladeshi border district of Cox's Bazar. Most have been there since fleeing.
The Rohingya have expressed doubt about the preparations for repatriation and stated that they will only return permanently to Myanmar if their security is ensured and they are given citizenship
