Trial starts in murder of Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah

A court in Cox's Bazar has framed charges against 29 accused in the murder case of Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah.

District and Sessions Judge Mohammad Ismail indicted them on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier on June 13, investigation officer Ukhiya Police Station inspector Gazi Salah Uddin pressed charges against the 29 accused in a court in the district.

Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah was shot dead by unidentified people in Ukhiya upazila of Cox's Bazar district on September 29, 2021.

On the following day, his younger brother Habibullah lodged a case with Ukhiya Police Station in this connection. 

Mohib Ullah was the chairman of Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Peace and Human Rights.

He came into the limelight holding a rally at the Rohingya camp on August 22, 2019.

He was among 27 representatives of 17 countries' minority communities who met former US President Doland Trump in July of the same year and complained to him about persecution.
