Coordinated efforts should be made with maximum emphasis at national and international levels for speedy and safe repatriation of the Rohingya crisis. The Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission Kamaluddin Ahmed commented that the multidimensional crisis is intensifying and the humanitarian situation is deteriorating.

He said this when John Quinley, director of international human rights organization Fortify Rights, met with the National Human Rights Commission at the commission's headquarters on Tuesday (April 30). During the meeting, the chairman of the commission presented the multidimensional aspects of the Rohingya crisis.

During the conversation, the chairman of the commission also said that the Rohingyas have been expelled from their homes due to brutal attacks, violence and genocide. They have been victims of mass murder, sexual harassment and human rights violations. The violence still has massive physical and psychological effects. It is our job to protect their rights and return them.

During the meeting, John Quinley presented a publication entitled 'My Tears Could Make a sea'-The Infliction of Mental Harm as Genocide against Rohinga' and the chairman of the commission for overall patronage. He expressed gratitude to Kamal Uddin Ahmed. The publication highlights the physical and psychological effects of violence on the Rohingya population and human rights violations against the Rohingya from various perspectives. The publication was jointly published by human rights organization Fortify Rights and Yale Law College's International Human Rights Clinic. The book contains some important recommendations and can be considered as an important publication in research and data collection on Rohingya issues.

It should be noted that the National Human Rights Commission has been sponsoring publication and research for a long time. The current commission is working continuously to solve the Rohingya crisis at the national and international levels.
