Most urgently, Fortify Rights recommends that the interim Government of Bangladesh
grant at-risk Rohingya refugees access to protective spaces, including safe houses, as well
as the rights to freedom of movement, livelihood, and education to all Rohingya refugees
in Bangladesh. The transitional government should order its border guards to protect
all Rohingya seeking protection in Bangladesh and cease any pushbacks to Myanmar.
Rohingya continue to flee for their lives from intensifying, genocidal violence and active
armed conflict in Rakhine State, and they should not be forcibly returned to a country
where their lives are in danger.
The international community should support Bangladesh with humanitarian assistance for
Rohingya and increase third-country resettlement programs that prioritize at-risk persons.
