Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh - A young registered Rohingya Refugee was killed by villagers on October 2nd 2013.
His Name was Rahim Ullah, the son of Hakim Ali. He lived in Kutupalong Refugee Camp Ukhiya. Shed 30, block C. His MRC No #19530.
Ullah had been working as a security guard for a fisheries service in Fultala Satkaria in Chittagong for months without getting paid. Needing money to get his mother released from prison, he asked the fisheries master for payment.
Angered by his request, the fisheries master and his Bengali servants began to beat him. After Ullah laid motionless on the ground, the group left him there to die.
Some Bengali locals alerted the authorities. Rahim Ullah died before the police reached him. He was 22.
His body was taken to a hospital morgue in Chittagong for autopsy. A day later his remains were returned to the kutupalong refugee camp with the assistance of the UNCHR and camp authority. His funeral was held October 3rd. In the morning.
The murder has been reported. No arrests have been made. When asked if the murderers will be punished, one refugee told RB News: "Who will punish him? If he pays money to the police station, nobody will say anything to him. The police will salute him if he pays them money. This isn't a moral country. This is not our country so we have no real justice though we die like cats and dogs."
