“Life Is Not Ours”: Attacks on indigenous Jumma peoples of Bangladesh and the need for international action
Published By: ACHR on ess | Published Date: June, 13 , 2008On 28th April 2008, hundreds of illegal plain settlers attacked the local Jumma people in Bangladesh. Hundreds of people were displaced and their houses burned. People suffered from such a level of shock that many of them did not come forward to take the relief fund declared for them by government.
