conclusions For decades now, the Rohingya have been forcibly displaced from Myanmar into Bangladesh, resulting in the formation of the world’s largest refugee camp. However, in recent years the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) has increasingly tamped down on the Rohingya people living within their borders, enforcing severe restrictions on their freedom of movement that have begun to mirror the very policies that compelled them to flee Myanmar in the first place. This report demonstrates that draconian restrictions on freedom of movement in the Bangladesh camps are being enforced via rampant police corruption and violence, and that these restrictions have far-reaching impacts on all areas of Rohingya life. Rohingya respondents detailed strict and pervasive restrictions of movement enforced by the GoB that have grown progressively tighter since 2019. These claims have been substantiated by APBn officers. Reported restrictions include: • Prohibitions on leaving the camps • Increasing difficulty moving within camps • Fencing surrounding the entire camp. Respondents report that these have turned the camp into an open-air prison • Curfews from 6pm to 6am • Restrictions on assembly • Vehicle bans within the camps • Prohibitions on work outside of the camp and at times within the camp The GoB purports that these measures are in place for Rohingya protection: to crack down on crime and reduce radicalisation and violence. However, they have had the opposite effect. The camps are becoming increasingly unsafe due to violence by both the armed groups and the APBn. Rohingya respondents overwhelmingly compared their current situation in Bangladesh to being as bad, if not worse, than their treatment in Myanmar. Many believe the true reason that these restrictions are in place is to weaken the Rohingya community and coerce them to “voluntarily” repatriate to Myanmar. The current restrictions on movement, although framed as protection, are instead creating the same oppressive environment from which they fled. These restrictions are violently enforced by both the physical infrastructure put in place by the GoB and through intimidation, physical abuse, and extortion by the APBn. Fencing constructed around the entirety of the camp prevents people from moving freely, forcing them to pass through checkpoints where they are subjected to the mercy of the APBn officers who enforce movement restrictions on a seemingly arbitrary and ambiguous basis. This system has severely curtailed the ability of Rohingya to access food, healthcare, and other necessities, as well as finding safety during emergencies, such as fires and monsoons. Checkpoints have become places of routine violence where Rohingya experience physical and sexual abuse from the APBn and confiscation of food, money, and phones.
