We should be concerned by a new agreement to repatriate 1,500 Rohingya refugees in a week — and all 740,000 refugees within two years — from Bangladesh back to Myanmar.

Do not misunderstand me, my contention here is not that the Rohingya should never return home, but rather that they should return home only when the Myanmar government ensures they will be treated with respect. And respect cannot be considered to include widespread rape, murder and mayhem.
