Summary 14 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.
