But the permanent secretary of Myanmar’s foreign affairs ministry told reporters in Naypyidaw that the Bangladeshi side didn’t transfer anyone until now.
Myint Thu added that some refugees must be hoping to return, but that Bangladesh is weak in following the physical arrangement.
Many Rohingya refugees say they will be persecuted again once they return to Myanmar. Roughly 1,000 of them at a camp in Bangladesh on Thursday chanted “We won’t go back!”
Bangladesh is currently hosting an estimated 720,000 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar’s western state of Rakhine.
They fled alleged violence during crackdowns that were launched by Myanmar’s security forces in response to attacks by Rohingya insurgents on guard posts last year.
