Nasaka personnel demanded Kyat 100,000 per head for their release, but the arrestees are not able to afford the money. So, they are detained in the Nasaka camp, another villager close to the victims said.
The villagers of Maungdaw south become most vulnerable compare to other sides of the town. The Nasaka or police or army, occasionally arrested the villagers over the accusations that they were involved in— June riots, human trafficking, Yaba business, border cross case, holding Bangladeshi mobile sets, etc. They have the power, and the Rohingya villagers have no rights to say anything against them. The arrestees are tortured allegedly, have to pay money and occasionally were sent to jail without any inquiry. As a result, Rohingyas have to choose the pathway, which is to be released by paying money, said a political leader from Maungdaw.
A village elder said, “When the Rohingyas will be free from these kinds of arrest and extortion.”
