More Rohingya refugees repatriated 



A second group of Muslim refugees has left Bangladesh for repatriation to
Burma. 

Twenty five refugees left Cox's Bazaar in south-eastern Bangladesh but ten
others who'd been cleared to return by the Burmese authorities refused to go. 

Yesterday, Bangladesh rejected offers by some donor countries to build
health and education facilities in two refugee camps which house twenty
thousand of the refugees, who are known as Rohingyas.
