1 From Isolation to Exile: Refugees from the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh [i] (1988)

handle is hein.immigration/isoexi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: FROM ISOLATION TO EXILE Refugees from the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh September 1988 This paper, produced by the staff of the U.S. Committee for Refugees, has been written without the benefit of a first-hand visit to the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh or to the refugee camps in India's Tripura State. The hill tracts have been effectively closed to outsiders for about six years, except for carefully circumscribed tours in the company of government and military officials, whose presence may have served to attenuate the comments of area residents. India's Tripura State, where conflict between tribals and nontribals has also been endemic, is likewise effectively off limits to foreigners. In compiling this report, therefore, USCR has relied on accounts by reliable sources who, despite the ban, have some first-hand knowledge of the situation. These include representatives of human rights organizations, journalists, tribespeople abroad who retain contact with the refugees, and refugee advocates. We are deeply grateful for the many hours they shared with us.
