Security force still harasses and arrests Rohingya in Maungdaw

Military Intelligence arrested Anwer the owner of three diamond jewelry shop  yesterday when he was sitting in his shop, according to a  trader from Maungdaw.

Sarapa (Military Intelligence) arrested Dil Mohamed (30), son of Abul Boshor, the current village administration officer of Maung Nama village tract of Maungdaw Township, and Ms Mahmuda Khatun (20), the domestic servant of Zubair, the ex-village Chairman of Maung Nama village Tract, on July 27. Ms Mamuda Khatun was picked up from Zubair’s house.

Dil Mohamed and Zubair were close aides of ex-Nasaka Director Lt Col Aung Gyi of Nasaka Headquarters of Gyi Kan Pyin (Kawar Bill) village of Maungdaw Township. It is learnt that Sarapa has been arresting the close aides of Nasaka after sacking of Nasaka director Lt Col Aung Gyi recently. But, Ms Mahmuda Khatu is not concern to the problem, said a villager from maungdaw.
In Maungdaw Township, the authorities of GFM Company have been selling mobile phones to the public since one week ago except Rohingya community. When a Rohingya man went to buy a mobile phone, one of the staff of company asked him that that they have only sold the mobile phones to those who eat pork. Not for Muslims. We want to know that this information is known to GMF company officials or not, said an elder from Maungdaw Town.
Besides, some of the workers from Barsara and Ghorakhali villages of Nasaka area No. 8 go to Aley Than Kyaw village of Nasaka area No.7 to grow paddy saplings every day. After finishing their work in the evening, they return homes. But, on the way, a group of Nasaka personnel from Oo Daung out-post camp under Nasaka area No.8 looted their money and rice which is bought for their homes and tortured. They get Kyat 2,000 per day, said a villager.
The youths of Oo Daung village have been passing their nights without sleeping as the Nasaka of Oo Daung out-post camp daily goes to the village to arrest the youths. So, the youths are not sleeping at night for fear of arrest by the Nasaka. But, who are arrested by the Nasaka are severely tortured and released after taking money.
In addition, the villagers are not allowed to cook food from 6 pm to 6 am during the curfew, even they are also not allowed to light the lanterns, candles and lamps. If the villagers do not comply with the order, he/ she will be tortured and extorted money. Hence, most of the villagers are not able to hold fasting. For instance, Hamida Begum (25), daughter of Kalu, hailed from north of Oo Daung village was severely tortured by Nasaka because of lighting a lamp at about 8:00pm and extorted Kyat 50,000 from her not to arrest.
In Akyab, the lands of destructed houses and mosques have been bulldozed and occupied by army.  The situation of Rohingya refugee camps in Sittwe is deteriorated. People are dying by starvation and lack of medical treatments.
The security force (Nasaka) raid every night the villages in Maungdaw to arrest Rohingya men and Rohingya women were raped in absence of men as almost men were not sleeping at home for the fear of arrest.

বাংলাদেশের আশ্রয়শিবিরে বসবাসকারী রোহিঙ্গা শরণার্থীদের কোনোই ভবিষ্যৎ নেই বলে মন্তব্য করেছেন রোহিঙ্গা বিষয়ক আইনজীবী রাজিয়া সুলতানা। তিনি এই আশ্রয়শিবিরকে চিড়িয়াখানার সঙ্গে তুলনা করেছেন এবং রোহিঙ্গাদের ফেরত পাঠানোর জন্য একটি উপযুক্ত কৌশল নির্ধারণের আহ্বান জানিয়েছেন। কয়েকদিন আগে যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয়ের ইন্টারন্যাশনাল ওমেন অব কারেজ এওয়ার্ড (আইডব্লিউসিএ) পুরস্কার পান রাজিয়া সুলতানা। সাহসিকতা দেখানোর জন্য সারা বিশ্ব থেকে বাছাই করা ১০ জন নারীকে এ পুরস্কার দেয়া হয়।  রাজিয়া সুলতানার একটি সাক্ষাৎকার নিয়েছে বার্তা সংস্থা রয়টার্স। তাতে তিনি রোহিঙ্গাদের পরিণতি নিয়ে হতাশা প্রকাশ করেন। রাজিয়া সুলতানা বলেন, মিয়ানমারের মুসলিম সংখ্যালঘু সম্প্রদায়ের রোহিঙ্গা শরণার্থীদের মধ্যে আশার অভাব রয়েছে। ২০১৭ সালের আগস্টে মিয়ানমারের সেনাবাহিনীর নৃশংস নির্যাতনের ফলে তারা পালিয়ে এসে বাংলাদেশে আশ্রয় নিতে বাধ্য হয়। রাজিয়া সুলতানা বলেন, এই আশ্রয় শিবিরে যত বেশি সময় শরণার্থীরা থাকবেন ততই পরিস্থিতির অবনতি ঘটতে থাকবে। ওই সাক্ষাৎকারে তিনি আরো বলেন, হ্যাঁ, এ কথা সত্য যে, শরণার্থীরা খাবার পাচ্ছে। কিন...

Refugee Poem

The Refugee   I suffered.                From violence And discrimination.                                 Fear in children’s eyes                             Tearing my heart.      I anguished                         Brain tortured, Heart bleeding guts screaming. Not daring.   I thirsted.                       For trust given, received.                             I hungered.                                 For freedom                  ...
