I. Killings, Abductions, Torture, and Threats by Rohingya Militant Groups in Bangladesh’s Refugee Camps 38 camp at gunpoint. … [T]hey blindfolded me and tied my arms and legs. In addition to that, I was hit with an iron stick and with their guns, so much so that I was made unconscious.”160 The survivor told Fortify Rights how he was taken to a shelter and beaten, “First of all, my arms and legs were tied, and I was blindfolded, and then they put a cloth in my mouth so that I was unable to scream or shout.”161 He said: [T]hey cut off my leg first. I was able to hear the sound that they were cutting off the bones of my leg with a big knife. I told them “Please leave me, and I will give you whatever you demand.” They replied to me, “We never leave you, and we will kill you because you always report to NGOs and the authorities of Bangladesh against us.” ... [The militants] took half an hour to cut me. My arm was cut just above my elbow. I was admitted to the hospital in Chittagong [known officially as Chattogram].162 After dismembering the man, the Rohingya militants dumped his body and left him for dead. He explained: “[ARSA] intended to kill me, and they kicked me on my back when I was thrown in the farm, but I didn’t move so that they thought that I was dead. I heard some of them say, ‘He is dead’ , and ‘Leave him here.’”163 The man told Fortify Rights how ARSA previously ordered him and one of his two brothers to join the militant group, but they refused to do so.164 “[ARSA] invited us to work with them, but we disagreed with them. That’s why they killed my brother and tried to kill me as well” , he said.165 Another brother of the survivor who was dismembered told Fortify Rights: ARSA accused my brother of working with the government [of Bangladesh]. They said, “You are supporting the government.” They kidnapped my brother from his shelter [around] 2 a.m. His arm and leg were cut off. ... He was kidnapped on September 12, [2022]. ... He went out to pee during the night, and the ARSA kidnapped him from the shelter. It was raining heavily on that day. After the mutilation, ARSA threw his body and left him.166 The brother told Fortify Rights that he witnessed ARSA abduct his brother: The ARSA members did not ask my brother any questions but said, “You are an agent of the government. Don’t say a single word, otherwise we will shoot you.” … My house is only about 20 feet from his house. I saw he was being taken through a road, and I followed them shouting. They began firing, and we could not move forward and came back. 167 He further described seeing him at the clinic the same night after the abduction: When I went to the clinic, I saw one of his legs and arm were cut. The arm was totally separated. There was a stab near his eyebrow. They also stabbed his lower abdomen and there was a cut of two inches. There is also a stab on his leg that was not cut. He was so badly beaten that his entire body got injured resulting in black scars on the body. The left arm was cut off from above the elbow. It was also the left leg cut from four inches below the knee. When I saw him both, the leg and the hand were connected by the skin only. The bone was cut. It was in the clinic. The clinic wrapped the bandage over the cut of the leg and hands. He was then referred to [another medical facility] in Kutupalong.168 160 Fortify Rights interview with G.F., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, October 18, 2023. 161 Ibid. 162 Ibid. 163 Ibid. 164 Ibid. 165 Ibid. 166 Fortify Rights interview with I.A., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, March 20, 2024. 167 Ibid. 168 Ibid.
