Arms. Drugs. Sealed camps. The EC frames Cox’s Bazar as a trafficking hub to justify sealing off the Rohingya. But this is more about optics than order. READ HERE: www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/why-is-ban... #Bangladesh #Rohingya #Elections2026

This ARNC statement reads less like a reckoning with the past and more like positioning for the future. It’s a reminder of how Rohingya organisations are often forced to align with power even when that power helped create the conditions they still live under.

After the Camp 24–25 fire, Rohingya media were instructed by majhees to document the visit and aid distribution by Dil Mohammed. Emergency relief here is also political theatre - a way authority is made visible, moralised, and circulated. This dynamic was examined in recent RRN reporting. Link 👇

He is a convicted criminal who has been identified in Rohingya testimony as a former Myanmar military informant. So what is Dil Mohammed doing touring the refugee camps? www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/dil-mohamm...

I worry that some of the language around the Myanmar election is too qualifying. There are no 'fears' or 'concerns', it is absolutely, completely, no questions bullshit. This is beyond the ordinary dodgy lawmakers doing (or trying) a dodgy, it's garbage now and has been since Feb 1 2021!

The United Council of Rohang has rebranded as the United Council of Rohingya. When the name was dropped, the first two Google search results for “United Council of Rohang” were critical investigations into its formation and RRRC-supervised elections. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/united-cou...

A powerful reflection from Dr Ambia Parveen on the UN’s ruling in the case of Rohingya community leader Dil Mohammed. She reminds us that his disappearance has left deep scars on the community and that justice now depends on Bangladesh implementing the WGAD recommendations without delay.

United Council of Rohang was sold as representation. Instead, it is becoming an instrument of control. Two new cases make that clear. Read this on Rohingya Refugee News: www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/the-united...

Haydee Dijkstal secures UN finding of #arbitrary detention & #enforceddisappearance against #Bangladesh for ongoing detention of Mr Dil Mohammed, a #refugee from Myanmar and prominent #Rohingya community leader to the refugee encampment in ‘No Mans Land' www.33bedfordrow.co.uk/insights/new...

Dil Mohammed has been detained in Bangladesh since January 2023. The WGAD just ruled that his incarceration “lacks any legal basis and is thus arbitrary.”

UN has ruled that Bangladesh’s detention of Zero Point #Rohingya leader Dil Mohammed is arbitrary and unlawful and has orderred his immediate release, compensation, and an independent investigation. My latest for The Diplomat is now out. #Myanmar thediplomat.com/2025/11/un-d...

🧵 The UN has ruled that Rohingya community leader Dil Mohammed is being arbitrarily detained in Bangladesh and has called for his immediate release, compensation, and an independent investigation. This is the first UN decision of its kind regarding a Rohingya leader detained inside Bangladesh.

The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has ruled that the detention of Rohingya leader Dil Mohammed is unlawful. He was the former No Man’s Land community spokesperson & abducted in January 2023 and held in prolonged solitary confinement. His international counsel, Haydee Dijkstal, responds

UN has ruled Bangladesh’s detention of Rohingya leader Dil Mohammed unlawful: enforced disappearance, solitary confinement, no legal basis. Orders: immediate release, compensation, investigation + public dissemination. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/un-rebukes...

SUHAKAM, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia, has condemned plans to charge Rohingya survivors of the recent Langkawi shipwreck under Malaysia’s Immigration Act. Survivors are stateless people fleeing persecution. Should be treated as victims in need of protection, not as criminals.

I’ve launched a WhatsApp channel for Rohingya Refugee News - refugee camp governance, trafficking routes, aid politics, Myanmar developments. Short dispatches. Verified sources. Early reporting. 🔗 whatsapp.com/channel/0029...

A lot of Malaysian coverage of the Langkawi boat deaths centres “transnational syndicates”, Interpol & regional criminal networks. Criminality flourishes because safe routes are closed. Boats are not a failure of policing - they are a failure of policy. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/what-malay...

Update on #Rohingya No Man's Land Dil Mohammed He has been moved to Cumilla prison. Conditions are extremely harsh. He is shackled. His family is deeply worried about his wellbeing. After more than 2 years in custody, four months in an Aynaghor, concerns about his treatment and health are mounting.

US slashes refugee ceiling from 125,000 to 7,500 - the lowest ever. Prioritises white South African Afrikaners(!) while shutting out refugees from #Myanmar, Afghanistan & Congo. No consultation with Congress. Arbitrary and shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/w... #Rohingya

Yellow–blue wash straight from the Ukrainian flag - is it mimicking Ukraine’s flag to sell a “heroic resistance” narrative? The Irrawaddy isn't interviewing Twan Mrat Naing - it is giving him a profile and platforming him. Editorial/aesthetic sympathy instead of scrutiny. #ArakanArmy #Myanmar

“Arakan Army hate the Rohingyas the most.” Bangladesh’s Principal Staff Officer Lt Gen S M Kamrul Hassan said this at a Dhaka seminar, calling the AA the most hostile among Myanmar’s 3 stakeholders - the junta, NUG, and AA - & accusing it of drug and arms-running, abductions & maritime insecurity.

AA chief invited UN Rapporteur Tom Andrews to Arakan to probe alleged #Rohingya killings. This is theatre/information warfare: Andrews can't legally enter without junta consent. The AA's "invitation" is a cynical ploy to look transparent. www.dmediag.com/news/acius.h...

If the report is true, the Arakan Army's reconstruction efforts have serious political & humanitarian motivations and implications: arakannow.com/aa-builds-85... The AA, accused of massacring that village, is now rebuilding it & splitting surviving families into separate houses. Why? #Rohingya

A video from Sittwe shows Rohingya girls - heads covered, hands on their hearts - singing the Arakan anthem before an audience of Rohingya men, some mirroring the gesture. It’s unprecedented. I have never seen anything like it. substack.com/profile/7095...
