Bangladesh police shot dead a third Rohingya refugee on Monday after they were accused of the murder of a ruling party official that has sparked anger among the local population. Nearly a million Rohingya live in squalid camps in south-east Bangladesh, 740,000 of whom fled a 2017 military offensive against the Muslim minority in Myanmar. Police said Mohammad Hasan, a suspected Rohingya “dacoit” or gang member, was shot dead after he allegedly opened fire at officers during a raid to arrest him at Jadimura refugee camp.
