A/HRC/39/CRP.2 BGP and reportedly submitted to the Bangladesh government, includes the names of more than 3,000 alleged ARSA “terrorists”, “family members” and “sympathisers”. 2700 1187. These lists were published without any form of due process and without offering any supporting evidence or information about any verification measures taken, putting the lives of both the individuals listed as “terrorists” and their families at risk. This will have served as a deterrent to repatriation. 1188. In February 2018, an initial list of over 8,000 Rohingya was submitted by the Bangladesh authorities to the Government of Myanmar for repatriation. 2701 At first, Myanmar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that only 374 people listed qualified for repatriation, less than five per cent.2702 On 18 May 2018, it then announced it would repatriate a total of 1,100 from the list. 2703 The Mission does not know if the persons on this list had indicated a wish to return to Myanmar voluntarily, and there are no indications that any have subsequently returned. 1189. Moreover, the Myanmar government has announced plans to temporarily house those Rohingya who they consider qualify for repatriation in “reception centres”, before they are sent to one of 11 designated settlement areas. It is reported that the sites are undeveloped and returnees will have to build their own houses. The Government has also reportedly claimed to have arranged a “cash for work” programme for the returnees so they can use the income they earn to cover housing costs. 2704 In an address to a visiting delegation from the United Nations Security Council in Naypyidaw on 30 April 2017, the Commander-in-Chief, SeniorGeneral Min Aung Hlaing, confirmed that Rohingya if repatriated would be sent to these specific sites. “There is no need to be worried about [the Bengali’s] security if they stay in the areas designated for them.”2705 1190. To date, the Myanmar Government has built two “reception centres” in Maungdaw Township and a “temporary medium camp” on former Rohingya-owned farmland,2706 close to Rohingya villages destroyed in “clearance operations”, where “accepted” Rohingya will reportedly be temporarily sheltered.2707 The “reception centres” are surrounded by newlyconstructed perimeter fences. Satellite imagery analysis shows one of the three sites, Aung Zay Ya, with buildings enclosed within a perimeter barbed wire fence. Increased security measures have also been observed around the transit centre, where a new perimeter fence has been built around a security post located approximately one kilometre to the east, near Thea Chaung Ywar Thit Kay village.2708 The presence of BGP and Tatmadaw soldiers at both 2700 2701 2702 2703 2704 2705 2706 2707 2708 January 2018), supplement, A-P;; Republic of the Union of Myanmar – Presidents Office, “Names of more than 1,300 ARSA terrorists sent to Bangladesh” (17 January 2018), http://www.presidentoffice.gov.mm/en/?q=issues/rakhine-state-affairs/id-8356 K-002.

One “reception centre” is in Taung Pyo Let Yar village tract, two kilometres south of the Bangladesh border in Aung Zay Ya village, which was destroyed by fire during the “clearance operations”. The new buildings are constructed next to hundreds of destroyed structures. The second “reception centre” is in Nga Khu Ya, in Nga Khu Ya village tract. The buildings are located predominantly on agricultural land, with satellite imagery showing that at least six nearby villages were destroyed by fire during the “clearance operations”.
