Rohingya Muslims flee refugee camp over growing fears of gang violence in Bangladesh

Transcript

00:00 Groups of Rohingya Muslims are again on the move from their Bangladeshi refugee camps,

00:04 where they sought a haven from the abuse and atrocities of Myanmar military and police

00:10 since the summer of 2017.

00:12 This time around, Bangladeshi gangs are up to blame for the extortion and harassment

00:17 in which Rohingyas have been abducted, held hostage for ransom and then tortured and slain

00:22 if ransom is not paid or demands not met or sent away from human trafficking.

00:28 And the brutality continues to escalate all throughout the massive camps, where refugees

00:32 number in the hundreds of thousands and prompted hundreds to set sail for a two-week perilous

00:38 sea journey to safety in Indonesia.

00:41 Over half a dozen boats have made it to Aceh, Indonesia, where more than more are expected

00:46 to arrive in Indonesian coast patrols to step up efforts to turn them away.
