Rohingya refugees are being displaced, again




The Take show

Summary: Bangladesh has relocated more than 1,700 Rohingya refugees from crowded camps in the country's southeast to Bhasan Char, an island prone to flooding — and they intend to relocate thousands more. The Bangladeshi government says the relocations are voluntary, though human rights groups say people are being coerced to move to an island where the conditions are so poor it may lead to a new crisis. It has been difficult to gain access to the island, so we’re speaking with an Al Jazeera correspondent who has been covering, and keeping in touch with the Rohingya.
