and return to their families.” 91 Another delegation member, Azizullah, 55, said the Bangladesh authorities “entertained [the visitors] with the highest hospitality during the entire trip, with good food and nice living spaces.” 92 But members said it felt like a show to make voluntary relocation attractive, when those already on the island had reported illtreatment. “Our people who were there complained to us that they have never been treated well,” Azizullah said. “Now [after the delegation left] those brothers and sisters are being treated like they were before.” 93 Visitors corroborated that those on the island were being denied freedom of movement. “You will not find the ‘jail’ word over there, but everything looks like a jail,” said Kolimullah, a delegation member. “Most of the refugees held at Bhasan Char said to us that they weren’t allowed to move freely on the island and most of the time they have to remain inside shelters that look like jail cells.” 94 91 Human Rights Watch interview with Maymuna, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, September 10, 2020. 92 Human Rights Watch interview with Azizullah, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, September 9, 2020. 93 Ibid. 94 Human Rights Watch interview with Kolimullah, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, September 10, 2020. 31 HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH | JUNE 2021
