Amnesty International is also calling for unfettered access to Bhashan Char for rights and humanitarian organizations to carry out independent assessments. Instead of having their shelters repaired, they were told that they must relocate to Bhashan Char. A head majhi told Amnesty International that government officials in charge of camps put pressure on them to provide lists of refugees to be relocated.
