KUTUPALONG REFUGEE CAMP, Bangladesh—Mohib Bullah is not your typical human rights investigator. He chews betel and he lives in a rickety hut made of plastic and bamboo. Sometimes, he can be found standing in a line for rations at the Rohingya refugee camp where he lives in Bangladesh.
Yet Mohib Bullah is among a group of refugees who have achieved something that aid groups, foreign governments, and journalists have not. They have painstakingly pieced together, name-by-name, the only record of Rohingya who are thought to have died in the tragic killings, violence, and resulting mass exodus that swept Burma’s Rakhine state in August last year.
