Malaysia searches for Rohingya after boat sinks, toll climbs to 21
The smaller ship carrying around 70 people sank near Langkawi the same day and the fate of the other boat carrying 230 passengers remains unclear, Malaysian authorities said. 'HE LEFT WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE'Among those who took a boat to Malaysia two weeks ago was 29-year-old Mohammed Ibrahim, according to his elder brother, Mohammed Younus. In the last week of October, multiple boats carrying Rohingya left Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, said Chris Lewa, director of the non-profit Arakan Project, which tracks the voyages. Muslim-majority Malaysia has long been a favoured destination for Rohingya fleeing persecution, although the country does not recognise refugee status. "People are desperate," Naser Khan, a Rohingya refugee in Cox's Bazar, said.

Two British lawyers submit ‘urgent appeal’ to UN over Hasina’s ‘fair trial’
Two British lawyers have submitted an urgent appeal to the United Nations, raising concerns over fair trial rights and due process in the trial of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina before Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). The appeal cites “serious concerns” over violations of Hasina’s right to a fair trial and proper legal procedure during her in absentia prosecution. Steven Powles KC, representing the Awami League, filed the UN appeal on Hasina’s behalf. Moreover, the chief prosecutor also suffers from the appearance of bias, himself having appeared at political rallies calling for the ban of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League. Moreover, lawyers who have previously acted on behalf of or who are associated with the Awami League have been attacked and are unable to carry out their professional duties without intimidation.
