World: South Asia

More Rohingya refugees repatriated


A second group of Muslim refugees has left Bangladesh for repatriation to Burma.

Twenty five refugees left Cox's Bazaar in south-eastern Bangladesh but ten others who'd been cleared to return by the Burmese authorities refused to go.

Yesterday, Bangladesh rejected offers by some donor countries to build health and education facilities in two refugee camps which house twenty thousand of the refugees, who are known as Rohingyas.
