[[File:Checkpoint Charlie Memorial.JPG|thumb|A memorial to those who died trying to cross the [[Berlin Wall]] stood for ten months in 2004 and 2005 near [[Checkpoint Charlie]].]]
The physical act of defection is usually in a manner which violates the laws of the nation or political entity from which the person is seeking to depart. By contrast, mere changes in [[citizenship]], or working with allied militia, usually do not violate any law(s).

For example, in the 1950s, [[East German]]s were increasingly prohibited from traveling to the western [[West Germany|Federal Republic of Germany]] where they were automatically regarded as citizens according to [[Exclusive mandate]]. The [[Berlin Wall]] (1961) and fortifications along the [[Inner German border]] (1952 onward) were erected by the Communist [[German Democratic Republic]] to enforce the policy. When people tried to "defect" from the GDR they were to be shot on sight. Several hundred people [[List of deaths at the Berlin Wall|were killed along that border]] in their [[Republikflucht]] attempt. Official crossings did exist, but permissions to leave temporarily or permanently were seldom granted. On the other hand, the GDR citizenship of some "inconvenient" East Germans was revoked, and they had to leave their home on short notice against their will. Others, like singer [[Wolf Biermann]], were prohibited from returning to the GDR.

[[File:East German Guard - Flickr - The Central Intelligence Agency (cropped).jpg|thumb|right| East German border guard [[Konrad Schumann]] jumping the border in 1961]]

During the [[Cold War]], the many people illegally emigrating from the [[Soviet Union]] or [[Eastern Bloc]] to [[Western world|the West]] were called defectors. Westerners defected to the Eastern Bloc as well, often to avoid prosecution as spies. Some of the more famous cases were British spy [[Kim Philby]], who defected to the USSR to avoid exposure as a [[KGB]] mole, and [[List of American and British defectors in the Korean War|22 Allied POWs]] (one Briton and twenty-one Americans) who declined repatriation after the [[Korean War]], electing to remain in China.

When the individual leaves his country and provides information to a foreign intelligence service, they are a [[Clandestine HUMINT#Defector|HUMINT source defector]]. In some cases, defectors remain in the country or with the political entity they were against, functioning as a [[Clandestine HUMINT#Defector in place|defector in place]]. Intelligence services are always concerned when debriefing defectors with the possibility of a [[fake defection]].

Entire militaries can defect and choose not to follow orders from a state's leaders. During the [[Arab Spring]] protests, militaries in Egypt and Tunisia refused orders to fire upon protesters or use other methods to disperse them.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Brooks|first=Risa A.|title=Integrating the Civil–Military Relations Subfield|journal=Annual Review of Political Science|language=en|volume=22|issue=1|pages=379–398|doi=10.1146/annurev-polisci-060518-025407|issn=1094-2939|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Grewal|first=Sharan|title=Military Defection During Localized Protests: The Case of Tataouine|url=https://academic.oup.com/isq/article/63/2/259/5438330|journal=International Studies Quarterly|language=en|volume=63|issue=2|pages=259–269|doi=10.1093/isq/sqz003|issn=0020-8833}}</ref> The decision to defect can be driven by the desire to prevent insubordination: if a military leader judges that lower officers will disobey orders to fire upon protesters, they could be more likely to defect.<ref name=":0" />

The movement was founded in 1973 in [[India]] soon after the [[Bangladesh Liberation War|independence of Bangladesh]] to support the Hindu refugees from Bangladesh, who were targeted by the [[Pakistan Army]] in the [[1971 Bangladesh atrocities]]. However, this movement did not receive much support at that time.

Major General [[Jahangir Alam Chowdhury]], the Director General of the [[Bangladesh Rifles]] (BDR), in a talk with the Director General of the [[Border Security Force]] (BSF) Ajay Raj Sharma in 2004 said that the extremist group Banga Sena was carrying out [[Terrorism|terrorist]] and [[secession]]ist activities against Bangladesh from its bases in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]].<ref name=DAILYSTARBDRBSFABC>{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/2004/01/11/d40111011212.htm |title=BDR, BSF agree to bust camps |author=Pallab Bhattacharya |access-date=30 June 2008 |newspaper=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]]}}</ref> Khodeza Begum in an article in the ''[[Global Politician]]'' accused [[India]] of helping to organize the Banga Sena.<ref name=GLOBALPOLITICIAN>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalpolitician.com/21944-india |title=Indian move to establish United India through United Bengal |author=Khodeza Begum |access-date=30 June 2008 |publisher=[[Global Politician]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080530171251/http://globalpolitician.com/21944-india |archive-date=30 May 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In March 2006, a senior official of the home ministry of Bangladesh expressed concern over the anti-Bangladesh activities by the Banga Sena. Regarding this he added that Bangladesh wants a peaceful border with neighboring India and the situation has vastly improved following coordinated border patrolling by both countries.<ref name=DAILYSTARKMMINE>{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/2006/03/15/d60315060170.htm |title=Khaleda-Manmohan meet on March 21 to initiate new era |access-date=30 June 2008 |newspaper=[[The Daily Star (Bangladesh)|The Daily Star]]}}</ref> A Bangladeshi official stated that the organization is a "threat to the sovereignty of Bangladesh".<ref name=KIVBBL>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsnetwork-bd.com/UI/Public/NewsDetail.php?LogID=11409 |title=Khaleda's India visit to boost bilateral ties |access-date=30 June 2008}}{{dead link}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

More than 400 members of the Banga Sena were arrested in India on 18 February 2003, for trying to cross over into Bangladesh from the district of [[North 24 Parganas district|North 24 Parganas]] in southern West Bengal. According to police sources, activists belonging to the organization began gathering at the Indo-Bangladesh border at Halencha, North 24 Parganas in the jurisdiction of the Bagda police station since morning that day.<ref name=INDIAINFO/>

In January 2004, the director general of the Bangladesh Rifles gave a list of the camps of the remaining Shanti Bahni elements in the [[North-East India]]n states of [[Tripura]] and [[Assam]] and in adjoining Indian provinces to the director general of the Border Security Force. The list documented that the Banga Sena, along with several other groups, carried out communal tension and separatist activities against Bangladesh from West Bengal. Indian Foreign Secretary said that India will cooperate in tackling the Banga Sena and other [[Insurgency|insurgent]] groups.<ref name=IHTABI>{{cite web |url=http://www.bangladesh-web.com/view.php?hidType=NAT&hidRecord=0000000000000000003363 |title=India to help tackle anti-Bangladesh insurgents |access-date=30 June 2008}}</ref> In September 2007, the representatives of two [[Non-governmental organization|NGOs]], Diphu Citizen Peace Forum and Karbi Human Rights Watch, in the [[Karbi Anglong District]] of Assam said that the Banga Sena was involved in [[extortion]] and it could pose a threat to the peace in the region.<ref name=ONEINDIAMOBILE>{{cite web |url=https://www.oneindia.com/2007/09/03/organisations-appeal-for-public-support-for-peace-in-karbi-anglong-1188821209.html |title=Organisations appeal for public support for peace in Karbi Anglong |access-date=30 June 2008 |publisher=[[Oneindia Mobile]]}}</ref>
