Rohingya Muslims frequently cross the Burma-Bangladesh border because of seeking shelter in Bangladesh as a neighboring country. In Arakan State, Burma, there is no life security of Rohingyas. The people are facing food shortage, movement restriction, and no access to do any work to support their family members. Meanwhile, the authorities concerned make arbitrary arrest, torture, detain and extort money from the villagers, and elder said from Maungdaw preferring not to be named.
