I. Killings, Abductions, Torture, and Threats by Rohingya Militant Groups in Bangladesh’s Refugee Camps 30 I believe that it was ARSA who killed [Mohammad Faisal]. … [He] raised his voice on Facebook about the situation [in the camp], mentioning that the parents were not allowing their children to come to class because of the fear of kidnappings, rape, and other atrocities. … ARSA are [sic] committing atrocities in the refugee camps. Due to [Mohammad Faisal’s] Facebook posts about the situation in the refugee camps, they killed him.86 At the time of writing, Fortify Rights is not aware of any ongoing official investigations by Bangladesh authorities into the killing of Mohammad Faisal. Mohammed Faisal’s close associate told Fortify Rights: “I have not seen any investigation into the killing. No police are searching for the criminals.”87 * * * In the early hours of May 29, 2024, men believed to be RSO gunmen shot at a group of young Rohingya men serving as camp volunteer night-security guards in Camp-17. One objective of these security guards is to protect refugees from armed militant groups involved in abducting and forcibly conscripting young men.88 The shooting killed two of the men—Nur Absar, 22, and Nur Faisal, 21— and severely injured another two young men. Fortify Rights spoke with seven people, including a survivor of the shooting, witnesses, and relatives.89 The survivor of the shooting who was hospitalized with gunshot wounds told Fortify Rights: We were assigned night security by the CiC [Camp-in-Charge official] in the camp, and we sat at a shop. … There were five of [us] acting as night security in the shop that night. Two people died, but the other three, including myself, are still alive. … Afsar and Nur Faisal are dead, and they both were teachers. It was dark that night.90 He continued to explain: [The armed men] were wearing masks. They asked us, “What are you doing here?” As soon as Mr. Absar replied that we were the night security assigned by the CiC, they began firing their guns at us. … I can firmly say that they were members of the RSO, because there are no members of ARSA in our block.91 He explained the assailants’ weapons: There were almost 30 people. They all had guns, swords, knives, and sticks. The guns I saw were hand-made guns and rifles, and they were long guns. I saw six or seven of them had swords. Two of them had wooden [homemade] guns. Only one of them had a rifle. They all were wearing masks at that time.92 He continued: “As soon as a bullet hit my thigh, I fell into the drain. They ran away after firing the guns. I became unconscious soon after the bullet hit me.”93 A Rohingya woman relative of the survivor injured by the shooting by RSO told Fortify Rights: “When I got to the spot, I saw my [relative] was lying down in the drain of the road. The drain is just adjacent to the shop [where they were shot]. There were about 20 to 30 members running away after shooting.”94 86 Fortify Rights interview with J.M.F., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, August 6, 2024. 87 Fortify Rights interview with H.H., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, January 9, 2023. 88 Fortify Rights, “Myanmar/Bangladesh: End Abduction, Forced Conscription of Rohingya Civilians,” July 26, 2024, https://www.fortifyrights.org/bgd-inv-2024-07-26/. 89 Fortify Rights interviews with I.G., I.H., I.I., A.Z.Z., and A.Z.A., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, June 15, 2024; Fortify Rights interview with A.Z.G., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, June 15, 2024; Fortify Rights interview with A.Z.H., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, July 26, 2024. 90 Fortify Rights interview with A.Z.H., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, June 26, 2024. 91 Ibid. 92 Ibid. 93 Fortify Rights interview with A.Z.H., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, June 26, 2024. 94 Fortify Rights interview with I.I., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, June 15, 2024.
