COX BAZAR: A Bangladeshi university suspended a student for being Rohingya, officials said Sunday, as impatience with refugees increases after a second failed attempt to repatriate them to Myanmar.
Some 740,000 members of the Muslim minority fled to southeastern Bangladesh after a military offensive in Rakhine state of Myanmar in August 2017, joining 200,000 Rohingya who are already there.
Formal education in Bangladesh is prohibited for refugees.
Cox Bazaar International University said it had suspended Rahima Akter Khushi and would investigate his case after the media said he hid his Rohingya identity to register.
