The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, will arrive in Dhaka on Saturday to see the Rohingya situation.
Lee, who earlier said incidents in Rakhine State bear the "hallmarks of genocide" and called for accountability in the strongest terms, also plans to visit the island of Bhashan Char in Noakhali.
The Bangladesh government has planned to shift Rohingyas to the island, reports UNB.
The UN Special Rapporteur will be arriving here from Thailand where she has been since January 14.
Lee will present her findings and recommendations at the 40th session of the Human Rights Council in March 2019, according to a message received from Geneva.
The Myanmar government has maintained its decision to cease cooperation with the Special Rapporteur, and refused her entry to Myanmar.
"I still seek to engage with the Myanmar government and I remain committed to my mandate to monitor the situation of human rights in Myanmar. I'll continue to meet with people from Myanmar and speak out about human rights issues that occur around the country," said Lee in a statement announcing her Thailand and Bangladesh visit.
