Rohingyas’ Lives are always Lockdown and Shutdown.
When we were in Arakhan, we were not allowed to travel anywhere in our mother land by the order
of government, because of we were made landless by the government of Myanmar. They kept us in
Lockdown.
Rohingyas’ Lives are always Lockdown and Shutdown.
When we have arrived in Bangladesh refugees camp, we have been not allowed to travel anywhere in
Bangladesh because of we are refugees. They kept us in Lockdown again.
Rohingyas’ Lives are always Lockdown and Shutdown.
When we were in Myanmar, Internet and telecommunication was shutdown for us by the order of
Myanmar Government for not spreading any information about what we faced.
Rohingyas’ Lives are always Lockdown and Shutdown.
Finally, we are making banned again from internet and telecommunication by order of BD
Government, because we are refugees. They kept internet shutdown for us. We are facing problems to
take online education and getting news around the world. I hope BD government will restore internet
shutdown and give internet again, because Bangladeshi are the mother of humanitarians.
Rohingyas’ Lives are always Lockdown and Shutdown.
So, another pandemic, named COVID-19 come door to door every corner in the world. It is another
option to make us Lockdown again. It's kept us Lockdown now. Also, during this COVID-19's
operation time came another Ampham Cyclone, which also kept us Lockdown and Shutdown from
all communication. Where can we give our information, and who save us, by giving their life?
Rohingyas’ Lives are always Lockdown and Shutdown.
Ya Allah please save all humans from the pandemic and give understanding skills, that you can do
everything in the world, what you want, without any doubt. We hope you will not keep us in
Lockdown and Shutdown for long time in the future. Thanks to Allah and keep peacefulness all the
living things in the world.1
