Force Refugees: Rohingya Refugees

force refugees: United Nations officials and international organizations have said such a return is unsafe due to ongoing violence and conditions that continue to force refugees to flee the country, according to CTV. Freeland and Bibeau say repatriation must not be rushed and they're urging Myanmar's government to ensure refugees that do return are protected and their human rights are upheld. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau say they are deeply concerned about a proposed repatriation of Rohingya refugees to Myanmar this month. Canada is also calling on Myanmar to grant full access to UN and international observers to monitor any repatriation efforts. In September, Parliament voted unanimously to strip Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary Canadian citizenship for failing to stop the atrocities committed against the Rohingya people. More than 900,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh since August 2017. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
