Camp Security police harass refugees intolerable

Teknaf, Bangladesh: Camp security police inspector Nurul Islam unnecessarily has been harassing the refugees of Nayapara official camp since he was transferred to the camp, said a refugee elder from the camp.

“The police inspector Nurul Islam poked Ms Hamida Khatun’s private organ with a stick on December 12 which was intolerable behavior for a female in social society for disregarded of his order by her husband.”

“Hamida (30), wife of Shabbir Ahmed, MRC # 23140, Block B/1012/ 4 of Nayapara official camp.”

Shabbir Ahmed was summoned to the police outpost of refugee camp by camp security police inspector Nurul Islam on December 12 as he was implicated in a false and fabricated stealing case where Shabbir did not go to the office of Inspector Nurul Islam which made police Inspector very angry with the victim’s husband, said a relative of Shabbir from the camp. 

“Hamida Khatun – wife of Shabbir Ahmed - was called to police officer office at about 8:00 pm for not appearing of shabbir. Police officer scolded very roughly and poked her private organ with a stick when she had reached at police officer office.After that, she was let to go to her shed. She was seriously wounded in her private organ that she did not dare to expose it because of shame and did not give any objection to the higher authority immediately.”

The inspector also threatened to Hamida Khatun, “I am a freedom fighter, no one can give me any harm.”

The inspector has been harassing to other refugees also since he was transferred here, a female refugee said preferring not to be named.

Later,Hamid gave a written complaint to the Camp-in-Charge against the police officer, but there is no action against the officer.

A refugee leader said, “We have been suffering here by police and local as well as we had suffered in Burma.”

Besides, on December 20, Mushana Begum (32), wife of Nurul Amin, MRC # Z-1643; Block# E/943/3, Nayapara official camp, was severely scolded, even she was called a prostitute by the said inspector for being late to enter  the camp ( at about 5:30 pm) after visiting the Leda refugee camp, but forced her standing position from 5:40 pm to 10:30 pm in officer office, said a close relative of Ms Mushana.     

Moreover, on December 24, Zubair, the secretary, the management committee of Nayapara camp, was severely humiliated by a police patrol group led by Saiful Islam for being late to locate a room in the camp, in which three Rohingyas came from Burma to see their relatives. Police wanted to arrest them.  But, the secretary did not know the exact location of the room, so he wanted to take time to know exact location. Therefore, he was late to say the exact location. This patrol party was also sent by inspector Nurul Islam, said a refugee leader from the camp.
