They left Dhaka on a Turkish Airways flight at 11:45 pm on Thursday, said human rights activist Noor Khan, who is also a friend of the family.

Mohib Ullah’s wife Nasima Khatun, their nine children and son-in-law flew to the North American country as ‘refugees’ under the Government Assistance Programme of Canada, having previously expressed a willingness to go to any third country for shelter.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) helped them to move to Canada.

On Sept 29, a group of unidentified gunmen killed Rohingya leader Mohammad Mohib Ullah at a refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya. Known as Master Mohib Ullah, the Rohingya leader, who was in his late 40s, had been serving as the chairman of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights.
