2. District Judge Mohammed Ismail accuses #Rohingya in the camps of “indulging in various heinous crimes including drug trade, murder, disappearance, rape, human trafficking, robbery, kidnapping.”
3. Circular states that common people around the camps live a “life of fear” and that “law and order forces are struggling to maintain law and order or suppress crime in the #Rohingya camps.”
4. It states that “day by day their (#Rohingya) criminal activities are increasing. As a result, an excessive number of cases are bing filed against them for various crimes including murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping.”
5. The circular states that in such a situation, “it is the moral responsibility of all concerned to cooperate in the investigation of the crimes of #Rohingya …..WITHOUT negotiating bail before the scheduled time.”
6. Circular effectively urges suspending process of law AS IT APPLIES to #Rohingya #refugees. And the reason given is difficult to understand, - that issuing bail to #Rohingya will increase the work load of judges.
However, bail is a fundamental right of every accused!
