Maung Daw, Arakan: Yesterday, at 9:30PM, NaSaKas (Border Security Force) from the Sub-Camp based at the bridge of Gawdusara village arrested two Rohingyas Youths at their early 20s for no reasons.
The two Rohingyas are from the Soilla village of Gawdusara village tract and their names are:
- Rahmatullah S/o Hussain Ahmed
- Tahir S/o Kamal
"According to the villagers, they were arrested just because NaSaKas wanted to extort money from them. They were arrested while they were having rest after their prayers. When the villagers went for their rescue, NaSaKas started firing at the villagers and did so at least 50 times. No villager was injured but the two Rohingya youths were inhumanely dragged to the NaSaKa sub-camp.
This camp is under the commandment of the NaSaKa Captain Myo Htaik Aung at the Maggyi Chaung Camp in the NaSaKa Area No. 7. It was said that the lower level NaSaKas arrested them without the order of the said captain. However, the two Rohingyas have not been released yet" said a Rohingya from a nearby village on the condition of anonymity.
On daily basis, there are arbitrary arrests and tortures of innocent Rohingyas and extortion of money and imprisoning them for the lame reasons. It can be with or without the permission of higher authority but innocent Rohingyas are suffering too much under the hands of the evil authority in Arakan.
