Bangladesh: 1. Please provide information about the societal attitudes (particularly among Muslims) to inter-religious and inter-racial de facto relationships in Bangladesh. Is there any evidence of those involved in such relationships being harmed? 2. Please advise how the authorities/police are likely to deal with any instances of harm due to an inter-religious or inter-racial de facto relationship? 3. Are there any areas in Bangladesh (perhaps with non-Muslim population) where an interfaith/mixed couple and their children could reside safely? 4. Please advise what the requirements would be for a Bangladeshi national to obtain residence status in the Philippines on the basis of being in a relationship with and father of a Philippine national. 5. Please provide any other relevant information. 12 February 2008 | Publisher: Australia: Refugee Review Tribunal | Document type: Query Responses
