FROM THE DVB NEWSROOM

The Maungdaw Township court sentenced six Rohingya to five years in prison for allegedly violating Myanmar’s immigration law. The six Rohingya were from Myanmar, but had fled to Bangladesh during the 2017 violence perpetrated by the military against the Rohingya community in northern Rakhine State, which was labeled as a ‘textbook example of ethnic cleansing’ by the U.N. and as genocide by the U.S. government in 2022.
