findings i: movement restrictions in bangladesh matter (i.e., health emergencies, or urgent family matters). Other respondents described facing resistance from authorities even when attempting to travel to other camps or within their own camp of residence. “Residents of one block can’t visit another block,” said Kushida, a 32-year-old Rohingya woman. “People from one house can’t visit another house. . . That’s the situation we can observe in the camps right now. It has become more difficult than before. The police beat and charge people when they try to visit other blocks. People are not allowed to spend the night at their relatives’ houses. These are the rules of the camp.” 43 Rohingya survey respondents reported that the most rigorously enforced restrictions were related to travelling outside the camps to Cox’s Bazar and other towns in Bangladesh; 40 percent of survey respondents reported that they could not travel outside of the camp at all. Restrictions on travelling between camps or even within a single camp, exist but are less severe (See table below). APBn officers who worked in the camp unanimously affirmed that these restrictions were official APBn policy, and that Rohingya were not allowed to travel outside of the camp, and were at times restricted from travelling within the camps. “We can only allow them to go outside if they have a permission letter from CIC,” said Chowdhury (pseudonym), an APBn officer. “If they don’t have it, we can’t allow them to go outside. They can normally move freely within the camp. But now the camp situation is very bad, killings and weapons in the camps are increasing. For this reason, sometimes we don’t allow them to go wherever they want to go, even within the camp.”44 Rahman (pseudonym), another APBn officer, echoed these same sentiments, “Rohingya people can’t go outside the camp. They can travel within the camp only. If they need to go outside the camp, they should have a CIC permission letter so that we can allow them to go. If they don’t have a permission letter to go outside, we won’t allow them to go. . . This is an official policy. We are doing and following what we were instructed to do by senior officers.” 45 YCR also received a government document that supports the accounts of Rohingya and APBn officers working in the camps. The document is from one of the CIC offices in the camps and allows for certain households to exit the camp to purchase cattle for the Eid al-Fitr celebration. However, the document explicitly notes the following conditions under which Rohingya can leave the camps: 1) “FDMN (Forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals, i.e., Rohingya) can’t engage himself in any labor work or any other activities [of] that purpose.” 2) “FDMN movement will be limited within Ukhiya Upazila (this is the municipality near the camps).” 3) “FDMN are not allowed to stay overnight.” 46 43 44 45 46 Interview C04F Interview P03 Interview P04 Order from CIC.
