When Abdul Hakim landed on a remote island in the Bay of Bengal some 20 months ago, finding a job was his main concern. There were little to no employment opportunities in Bhasan Char when he arrived in the first batch from a cramped Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar.

Law Minister Anisul Huq today said the Election Commission must remain cautious so that Rohingyas, fleeing from Myanmar, cannot be voters in Bangladesh in any manner.

“The three arrestees have been involved in human trafficking for a long period. They usually communicate with Rohingyas staying in different camps of Cox's Bazar and send them abroad including Malaysia,” Rab says.
