KUTUPALONG, Bangladesh: Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh on Sunday staged demonstrations demanding repatriation to Myanmar, where they fled a brutal military crackdown five years ago.

Almost a million Rohingya are confined to bamboo and tarpaulin shacks in 34 squalid camps in the South Asian nation's southeast, with no work, poor sanitation and little access to education.
