Border Security Force (Nasaka) intimidate Rohingya “Accept you are Bengali or Shoot you”

By Mohamed Farooq

On 26 February, 2013, about 25 Nasaka personnel came to Rani Para from Nasaka area number one under the tract of Maungdaw Township. They ordered village administrator, Mohammad Gafur to call every villager and they will take a photo having race name is Bengali with his/her signature or finger print. Mohammad Gafur replied that it was not possible for him to take responsibility of bringing villager to take photo with signature having race is Bengali. The villagers were almost evaded to presenting the spot. He also asked to Nasaka “if it is mandatory, you can do me what you want.”

Finally, Nasaka told him that they did not like any excuse to get further and they will come again. “It is the last word to arrange and prepare all people to do what we order as you are Bengali or we will shoot who oppose this matter.” Burmese security forces can menace openly to shoot as they have prime power to cleansing Rohingya minority by Higher Authority.
