most of them had escaped a military crackdown in myanmar in 2017 which amounted to genocide. they avoided death, but for many, their new life is one of misery. the rohingyas cancer very overcrowded. -- camps are very overcrowded. there are many victims every day. it is a ltimillion dollar trade and involves people from various sectors. including fishermen who want a slice of the proceeds. even rohingyas refugees themselves. somewhat to help families reunite. -- some wanto help families reunite. this is her family. she was told it would take less than a week to meet in malaysia. her failed journey turned into a nightmare. >> one day, my sick sister got into an argument with a smuggler. when she was coming back from the toilet and slapped him in the face. the smuggler beat my sick sister with a leather belt. she bled to death. reporter: still, stories like these are not enough to scare off the desperate. nearly 500 rohingya muslim crossed into malaysia this year. many blended into neighboring indonesia. but many more fails, returning home with horror stories to tell, or died at

. >> we came here after so much torture in myanmar. >> we feelafe here in the camp. we do not nt to go. >> more than wenha -- more than one million refugees are squeezed onto 26 square kilometers near e border. the bangdeshi government says its relocation plan will ease the pressure on the crowded camp. according to the country's foreign minister, refugees will not be taken forcibly. only those who are willing to go will be going there voluntarily. but some refugees say they are being given no choice. >> first, my father was arrested by the police. they beat him badly. he was put in a dark cell for a day and a night. they asked him to choose between death and going. that is when my father agreed to go. >> international rights groups have also published evidence of forceful relocation. >> we are concerned that in a remote island, which is off-limits to everyone including journalists and rights groups, it poses serious concerns about human rights monitoring and for that to be overcome, i think the authorities should create that framework. they should ensure the refugee

they are several -- several kilometers away behind me is myanmar. there is a sense of belonging. regional people here speak their dialogue. that sense of belonging and -- belonging is a psychological factor. they do not want to be isolated in a coastal island that they do not know anything about. the government is determined. probably will take months to record -- to relocate this 100,000 people. >> india's military has denied reports it targeted civilians in reprisal attacks after two soldiers were killed in kashmir last week. residents of one area told al jazeera security forces are rounding up and beating innocent men, women and children. >> days after an indian army patrol came under attack in two soldiers inside this vehicle were shot and died in hospital, authorities are looking for who is responsible. no group has claimed responsibility. people here say they are living in fear. army soldiers have carried out raids in the past week and those who live here say they have become victims to reprisal attacks. >> on the day of the attack, the soldiers questioned us. we told them

and now it also looks like she's going to win the election in myanmar and sit for another term there unless she is put in prison by the international community. so when you have somebody who is guilty of genocide in a country, i think there's a time and place to revoke, and this is definitely one of those times. to just -- also because it doesn't increase our trust in the peace prize and i think that's one of the big problems we have in the world today is the lack of trust in leadership and in authority, which also creates a lot of division and conflict, and so if they want to increase trust, then we also need to listen. our leaders and the nobel peace prize is symbolically showing us in a way the state of the world today, with this lack of trust, and not listening to the people, and being disconnected from what is actually happening in the world. so, i think not revoking the prize to su kyi is a huge disrespect to all of us really. >> definitely. a disservice to the peace process as well. >> yep. >> what it does do is brings up the issue of how they have not defined peace. they have
