Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Saturday said the killers of Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah would be brought to justice soon.

In his first remarks since the Rohingya leader's murder sparked global condemnation, he said: "The government will take stern action against those who were involved in the killing. Nobody will be spared."

A vested quarter killed Mohib Ullah as he wanted to return to Myanmar, his home country, he added.

Mohib Ullah, chairman of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH), was shot dead at a Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar by unidentified assailants at around 8pm on Wednesday.
