Kutupalong, Bangladesh: A group of local youth from Kutupalong is looting unregistered Rohingya refugee in the day time openly, said an elder Refugee from the camp.

“The group is led Afsar son of Shuna Ali healed from Kutupalong area and enter the refugee camp with fake 500 taka note where the group buy goods from glossary shop.” 

“If the Refugee shopkeepers denied to accept the fake note, the local youths said it is your and you kept the money we toke the goods.”

“The local youths also looted and took chickens from refugee in front of refugee females in the day time, if the owner of chickens stopped the youth, the youth beat the refugees.”

We are facing big problem to complain about fake note to the concerned camp security force as the fake note is in our hand and we have no evidence that it was paid by local youth, said a refugee shopkeeper from camp.

“The camp security police didn’t bar the youth who are entering into camp and made upside down with fake note, but, to harass and to extort money from refugee the police came to camp at any time.”

“We are not registered in Bangladesh as a refugee, so every local enter to the camp where they harass, loot and rape the refugee without any fear of arrest. The police also not protect the refugee while the refugee face problem,” said a religious leader from camp.
