“If we send the refugees back to Myanmar, they will be suppressed and might even be shot to death,” he said in a video broadcast on Facebook yesterday.

“Last time, there was even a demonstration in support of the Rohingya, but now they are quiet because they are scared the public will get angry,” he said.
