Teknaf : Bangladesh authorities handed over 45 Burmese prisoners to Burma's border security force Nasaka at a commander-level flag meeting that was held on Thursday at the Bangladesh border town of Teknaf, according to an official report.
The flag meeting was held at a government building located at the foot of Naff Taung Mountain in Teknaf Township at 10 am, and 15 delegates each from Bangladesh and Burma attended the meeting.
During the meeting, Bangladesh authorities handed over the 45 Burmese prisoners to the Nasaka delegation after they had been released from Cox's Bazar prison, where 636 Burmese prisoners are being detained by Bangladesh authorities.
The report stated that in Cox's Bazar prison there are 89 Burmese prisoners who have completed their terms, but only 45 were returned to Burmese authorities. According to a local source, Burmese authorities refused to accept all 89 prisoners who are due for release, leaving the remainder to languish in detention.
The flag meeting was held from 10 am to 1 pm, and the two delegations discussed many bilateral issues such as cross-border smuggling, human trafficking, and robberies on the Naff River. A few robberies took place recently on ferry boats crossing the Naff River, and the issue was a priority for discussion at the meeting.
The Burmese delegation was led by Major Nay Oo, who is in charge of Nasaka Area No. 6, while the Bangladesh delegation was led by Mozammel Hossain, commander of Bangladesh Rifles Battalion 42 based in Teknaf.
