Buthidaung: It is reported on midnight April 30, officials of Border Security Force (Nasaka) arrested five Rohingya without any allegation from Mostobis village, Thaygan Khwasone village tract, Buthidaung Township, Rakhine State. 

On midnight April 30, 10 Nasaka officers of Pho Nyo Leik based Nasaka camp entered to Mostobis village, Thaygan Khwasone village tract, Buthidaung Township and raided many houses. Afterwards, arrested five Rohingya without any allegation. 

1. Suleman S/o Mostobis, 65 years

3. Rabi Ullah S/o Kalim Ullah, 20 years 

4. Salim Ullah S/o Saber Ahmed, 17 years 

5. Tufail S/o Oli Ahmed, 26 years 

After arrested, have beaten brutally and, in turn, demanded money to set free. However, it is learnt since they are unable to afford the money, eventually, they were taken away to the camp situated in Pho Nyo Leik. Thence, an Imam (Prayer leader) named Abdullah was also brutally beaten. 

A resident told to RB News that threatened all villagers i.e. told that remained more ones to be arrested and repeatedly, will be arrested. Therefore, villagers are dreading. Villagers are not dare to sleep at night and staying out of house s to be escaped. Even not being valued as animals, the arrestees are torturedly beaten. And demand money. As the arrestees are unable to afford the demanded amount, they will be prosecuted under any falsified Act and imprisoned. Mainly, pillaging detained people is like dacoit pillaging.
