Human Rights Watch has urged Bangladesh to immediately allow the two boats carrying Rohingya refugees to reach its shores. The agency says the refugees, stranded in the Bay of Bengal, have been facing severe food and water shortages for weeks. Human Rights Watch has urged Bangladesh to accept the Rohingya stranded at sea. Brad Adams, Human Rights Watch’s director for Asia, says Bangladesh is bearing the brunt of Myanmar’s military atrocities. But it does not justify leaving refugees in boats to die at sea. He said that the Prime Minister of Bangladesh calls herself the mother of humanity for providing shelter and protection to the Rohingyas. But now his government is backing down.
