Mohib Ullah (1971 – 29 September 2021; often written as Mohibullah) was a Rohingya peace activist, community leader and co-founder of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH), a refugee-led organization in Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.[1] Ullah, Saya Salauddin along with some other Rohingya intellectuals founded ARSPH shortly after arriving in Bangladesh following the 2017 Rohingya clearance operations.[1][2]
Ullah was a very visible leader in the refugee camp and a spokesperson for Rohingya worldwide. The Rohingya in the camp nicknamed him 'Peace Father'.[3][2] In March 2019, Ullah travelled to Geneva to address the United Nations Human Rights Council on behalf of the Rohingya in Bangladesh.[4] In July 2019, he was among a group of victims of religious persecution who met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. He asked the president about his administration's plans to help the Rohingya return home. In August 2019, Ullah organized a ceremony in Kutapalong refugee camp to commemorate the Rohingya genocide two years ago, attended by some 200,000 refugees.[5][6]
