Myanmar seeks info on ARSA

Myanmar has urged Bangladesh to investigate and provide information about the list of "terrorists and criminals" belonging to the ARSA, which had been previously sent to Bangladesh.

Myanmar Union Minister for Home Affairs Lt-Gen Kyaw Swe made the request during his meeting with Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan held in Dhaka recently.

Myanmar earlier sent a list containing names of more than 1,300 Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) members to Bangladesh, reports The New Global Light of Myanmar, a media outlet.

It was done at the 4th Myanmar-Bangladesh Central-Level Meeting on Border Security and Law Enforcement Cooperation held in Nay Pyi Taw on November 14, 2017.

In addition, Bangladesh was also informed to extradite the ARSA extremists according to the 1980 Myanmar-Bangladesh Border Agreement so that action can be taken against them as per the law.
