A/80/205 20. In her communications, the Special Rapporteur has referred to instances where religious communities have been targeted and violently displaced, religious sites and homes have been attacked, and such communities have been forced into internally displaced person camps that themselves did not offer safety; 29 and where those attempting to assist internally displaced persons have been obstructed or killed, including through the planting of landmines, the destruction of humanitarian aid supplies, 30 the theft of belongings and arbitrary detention. There have also been cases of post-election violence against religious minorities, resulting in internal displacement or migration to neighbouring countries, 31 and even of displacement due to the refusal of members of other religions to forcibly partake in the religious activities of the dominant religion. 32 21. In the inputs for the present report, attention was drawn to recent alleged cases of forced displacement of religious minorities due to sectarianism; inadequate protection against attacks by non-State actors against religious minorities in camps; 33 the blocking of support for internally displaced persons by non -governmental organizations, even where government support had been discontinued; 34 and pressure to disguise religious belonging and to convert in internally displaced person camps in order to gain access to services and jobs. 35 22. It is rare to find instances of full enjoyment of freedom of religion or belief in refugee and internally displaced person camps. Even in cases in which camp populations have been displaced due to their religion or belief, they continue to be targeted and are at high risk of continuing violence by both State and non-State actors. Such targets often face restrictions on their freedom of movement when separated in camps for their safety. Not only should safety and security be effectively guaranteed, but provision should also be made for the enjoyment of freedom of religion or belief and for dialogue between communities. 23. In Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, rapid displacements, severely overstretched services and resources, overcrowding, natural disasters and other challenges have exacerbated difficulties, including threats to security and psychosocial well -being that relate to freedom of religion or belief. Hundreds of Hindu Rohingya refugees were, on occasion, accommodated separately to guarantee their safety, but their freedom of movement and access to education and employment were thereby limited. Christians were also taken to the United Nations transit centre for their safety. Hindu and Christian Rohingya have been attacked, and religious gatherings, including those of Muslims, have been monitored and restricted on occasion due to security concerns. Violence among Muslims and Hindus has resulted in deaths and hospitalizations. Bangladeshi authorities have also imposed restrictions on madrasas in refugee camps due to a fear of radicalization. Armed groups enforce their own versions of religious practices and intimidate those with other beliefs. Rohingya militant groups reportedly operated in the camps, spreading propaganda against Christians and calling for the assassination of their leaders. 36 __________________ 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 25-11829 See communication IND 9/2023.
