Where do refugees stay?

While this is the difficult reality for more than 6.2 million refugees, approximately 75 percent of refugees live outside of camps.

What are refugees fleeing from?
A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries.
What happens to a case if someone flees the country?
Generally, if someone isn’t brought to trial within a certain amount of time, the case may be dismissed because the constitutional right to a speedy trial has been denied. However, when someone flees the state or country, they lose this protection.
Do you need a plan in advance to flee from enemies?
You would simply need a plan in advance of where you are going to go if you are planning on fleeing and you’d need to flee while no one is under the impression that you are going to do as such.
What happens if you flee the country while on bail?
If you have been charged and flee then you will almost certainly have an arrest warrant issued for you. There is no length of time after which the court will dismiss the charges. Even if you stay away for long enough that all of the evidence for your case is lost, you will almost certainly be charged with bail jumping.
Should I leave the country before my passport gets flagged?
You’d probably want to leave BEFORE your passport gets flagged. It’s a virtual certainty that it will be days or possibly weeks before anyone gets around to making certain that your passport is put into a fugitive database, meaning that if you haven’t left before then, you are simply sitting around wasting time.
