Three more camel jockeys back to families

The children --Shahed, 13, and Jewel, 15, two brothers from Gaibandha, and Sohel, 12, from Shariatpur -- were handed over to their parents by the Bangladesh National Women Lawyers' Association (BNWLA) officials.

The children had been staying at city's BNWLA shelter home along with other returnees upon their arrival from the UAE, which started from August 11.

Bangladesh government, in association with the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), is bringing back the children. So far, 83 former camel jockeys returned home and over 100 are awaiting repatriation at three shelter homes in Abu Dhabi.

A committee comprising of officials from home ministry, Unicef, International Organization for Migration (IOM), BNWLA and a trafficking-related NGO Astec, is managing the rehabilitation and reintegration process.
