Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of research by Fortify Rights, published on 26 April, that found Border Guard Bangladesh responsible for the assault and forced returns of Rohingya Refugees.
Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK Government is committed to supporting the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and working to address protection risks. We regularly discuss our concerns about the deteriorating security situation in the camps with the Government of Bangladesh and often engage with the UN and NGOs. UK humanitarian funding of over £391 million since 2017 includes ongoing support to protection services. We are aware of the Fortify Rights report published on 26 April. We have raised our concerns with the Government of Bangladesh about the reported refoulement incidents on 25 April of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar and continue to monitor the situation closely.
