Twelve Bangladeshis released from prison were repatriated to their country on December 2, according to the Immigration and Manpower Department of Maungdaw district.
They had been imprisoned at the Thandwe prison for violating the Myanmar Immigration law.
They were sent back to their country through No 1 harbour gate of Maungdaw border.
The 12 illegal immigrants were received by H Kunsul Hasan, the official rank of captain from No 42 Border Guard Battalion of Bangladesh.
The actual number of illegal immigrants released from Thandwe prison under the president's amnesty order was 86 Bangladeshis.
Although Myanmar had asked Bangladesh to receive all of them back, Bangladesh took back only 12.
The remaining illegal immigrants are still in Myanmar.
