deep into the german culture. class. country. ground i am. it's all that. i'm rachel joins me from the. post. this afternoon coming up on the program trapped between fear and survival growing their revenues in bangladesh trade to the town. and that i. never. ever go back. 3 years ago. confessed to the alleged but still of parents set free.

welcome to. it's good to have you with us. they want to go back to but can't because that afraid refugees in bangladesh are refusing to talk to me and ma a un wanted to attempt to return some 300 refugee families to the country seemed on thursday no one turned up to go back the feared effect on persists even to us after more than 700000 of them so led a brutal crackdown in myanmar attempted to turn was only the 2nd time the un tried to get refugees to go back under. and the myanmar government that we just feel as a best. in was one of them said to the deed. in caucuses bazaar if they force us to goal we will die he has more on what supporters found in the

refugee camps in coffs is bizarre. but i don't know. as rumors spread that they would be forced to return to yemen mall attention is because kaya mongering to refugees in baghdad however am i hearing that about the reality the mothers take their daughter's clothes off. and then rate them in front of their parents the whole of like my own daughter their budget. this woman is referring to the brutal crackdown by myanmar's military 2 years ago hundreds of thousands of rinker fled to packing up day. this week almost 2500 of them when formed at their names were on a list of refugees selected for repatch relation to me and mom bangladeshi government officials to up the list but it was up to the un to break the news to the rescue teams. mohammed it came as

a shock you look. at how our lives and belongings will be in danger over there and our children and wives won't be safe if they force us to go we will die. out looking girl one of several ethnic minorities in me and mom but the government there does not recognize the most full citizens they have faced decades of discrimination and times violent repression and not allowed to travel freely the lack of access to basic services and ma has promised to provide them with housing and id cards but no one we talked to believed you go to his assurances. many was so frightened that they spent the night before the repatriation with their friends when the mountain surrounding the camps. said wandered around all night too terrified to return to this talk. i heard they would take us today i got so scared

i was afraid they might force us. i had promised they wouldn't force anyone to leave. and the un insists repatriation must be poland and to serve a 20 g.'s to determine whether they want to return and this is because they. know since single with greta as long as months government cannot prevent root run full rights of the regime it's unlikely any of them would change their mind. the democrat is one of many conrad is one of the altos of that reporter joins us now from bangladesh nomi good to have you with us now based on the conversations that you've had with the refugees and. what other tell you what conditions need to be in place for them to feel safe to go back to myanmar. or they're very clear that they want full citizenship rights they want to be recognised as they want them back they want their property back and they want instant us in the service to go in to

guarantee that these acts will that make clear that if this is an act phillips thank you happy to go back home now. under the terms of it but it has with me and mum is that a sense that. giving up its end of the bargain well that's incredibly difficult to say because me and isn't letting international independent observers into the country and on boxing journalists interestingly at the press conference yesterday i put that question to me the 1st layoff to direct me what guarantees do you have that the can get right will be carrying seats and we refused to on thank you just that it's time i think that in that self if i can respond. to run your message is not going back to me means that continue to stay on in bang others which have to accommodate 700000 extra refuges since 2017 and that is that door doubling almost of the refugee population in the country is bangladesh being able to call.

well yes indeed this is the biggest refugee camp in the. i mean it's a big may have the situation has improved refugees do have basic basic health habits basic education and so bright by conditions on diet a lot of people don't have anything to do that's another fear that their checks tracing might lead to and might be you know that young people just having too much time on their hands is concerned that they might end up becoming radicalized even if they find about but it may happen i'm also once he white me right before the aid workers believe in the often new conditions in the camp are actually quite insecure we've heard of this abductions of militant groups and gangs in the camps so conditions you know how to improve but it's still quite dangerous but as a lot of refugees tell us they love to stay here than have to go home at this point i just have to ask about the aid agencies that are operating in these camps do they

think that they're getting enough support to be able to support the point that if it isn't done. that is a very big question as i said conditions of texas so if the pictures that we're sending out to the wells on to. baton was as we saw 2 years ago so that's a real concern and that the conditions that have in place that they won't be able to be of help next if that's a motive money that's going into this crisis that's that aid agencies pay you liz a concern that they won't get an actual money if they have in the post and that they see might that the conditions in the crab might actually deteriorate not if you're not speaking to us from buying others thank you very much for that. this woman behind me but no it's pakistan's saw social media stopped strangled to death and led to me by her brother back

a so-called honor killing he confessed to. you know as the brother was seen repeated not guilty in court on these brothers on not one tried for help in 2016 on wednesday their parents made a plea to the court asking for their own. stock when i've been following the story and she joins me some more in the studio nama show welcome. and why were she so controversial well as you said brash she was talking 1st social media star the media often referred to her as the can cardassian of pakistan but that was a bit of a simplistic comparison she wasn't born with a silver spoon she came from a rural working class background she was a girl with a dream to be on t.v. or to be a celebrity and she made that happen herself by building a brand for herself online and she posted videos like the ones we're going to show

you right now they were of her being sexy of her being cheeky of her being sarcastic behavior that is very provocative scantily clad and thousands were inspired by her as an iconoclast but she also had people who love to hate her and she was viciously gone after on line with threats threats of violence death threats but the formula worked and by the year 2015 she was among the 10 most googled people in pakistan not you describe a very conservative society because i know that you've lived and worked in pakistan yourself how did that conservatism manifest itself on the streets and barkus on in people's daily lives what did you see right you know as a foreigner expectations were different for me but i followed the lead of the women around me so when i went out to the mall or i went out to the cricket ground to go exercise i wore a shower can use that is a trouser and shirts that were uncovered from hair down to my ankles my rear end is

covered i might wear a scarf or added modesty. and what she is wearing and the way she looks on the wall behind us here that is that is bold that is even rebellious and she is just attracted controversy she was not the typical woman in pakistan who who is meant to buy her outward appearance and comportment represent the family honor and this controversy is really reach a future picture around her when she posted the images we're going to show next this is in the summer of 2016 where she had a meeting with an islamic cleric here you can see she's got it she's very patches got a naughty look on her face this was during ramadan daytime they consume so does together she later said so at this point people wanted to know who is this woman what is she doing and the media really started investigating her background they went to her hometown and so the communal disapproval around her behavior really that wheat started falling on her and her family and 18 days after her name was made public

she was dead her brother confessed to killing her and in honor killing of the ring that the gore overproduce did 3 brothers i believe for her mother what's happening with the trial in this case right well 1st it's really important to know that after her murder there was huge public outrage over this case and in the months after lawmakers passed anti honor killing legislation meant to curb this practice it allowed course to authorize life imprisonment for people who committed honor killings now this meant to close a loophole that in the past had allowed the families of victims to forgive the murderer usually because that person was part of their family and was needed not punishment to someone and so in this case though on wednesday the parents went to the court they said we want to give our sons we want them to be set free. because

this this law was passed after our daughter's murder so please let our sons go the court however did not agree and they did not grant this request for pardon and that's fair enough for the time being michele thanks very much for coming into the studio and breaking that down for us. and you can catch other stories from the region and this episode on our website www dot com forward slash isha we need you now with pictures from hong kong pro-democracy protesters forming a human chain they've drawn inspiration from another pro-democracy protests from 30 years ago here in europe and estimated. and. across the country to protest against.
