Dhaka/Geneva, 24 January 2025 – Pursuing justice for crimes committed against the Rohingya is critical for their future return to their homes in Rakhine State in Myanmar and future peace, said Nicholas Koumjian, the Head of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar, on the conclusion of his five-day official visit to Bangladesh.
During his visit, Koumjian met with high-level government officials, as well as more than 100 Rohingya activists and representatives of community organizations from the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.
He discussed the Mechanism’s progress in its investigations into crimes against the Rohingya, latest developments in accountability processes, and the current situation across the border. Tens of thousands of Rohingya have recently arrived in Cox’s Bazar, fleeing brutal atrocities committed against them during the escalation in fighting between the Arakan Army and the Myanmar military.
