BANGLADESH refused three big boats carrying about 1,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Myanmar bringing to 1,500 the number of refugees blocked in recent days, officials said.
"They have been chased away," police official Jahangir Alam said by phone on Saint Martins Island, a Bay of Bengal isle the boats approached. "We are keeping our eyes open so that nobody can enter Bangladesh illegally."
Administrators arranged announcements by loudspeakers for islanders to be vigilant to prevent Rohingya Muslims from entering Bangladesh, said a government official in the island. Bangladesh said earlier it sent back 11 boats over the past three days packed with Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar.
