 [DW] Many Bangladeshis who come to Cyprus hoping to find work end up in refugee camps in the EU country. They blame human traffickers for their ill fate.
If they’re migrant workers, they have no business in refugee camps. Two Bangladeshi migrants colonists were desperately waiting at the main gate leading to the Pournara migrant reception camp outside Nicosia, the capital of the Republic of Cyprus, last week, hoping to gain entry into the already-overcrowded camp. The two men — in their 20s — looked exhausted and afraid. One of them, 24-year-old Salim Hossain, told DW that the authorities denied them entry into the camp due to a lack of documents.
"We don't have any passports. A Bangladeshi human trafficker has taken them from us in North Cyprus before sending us to the southern part of the island," Hossain said.
