I. Killings, Abductions, Torture, and Threats by Rohingya Militant Groups in Bangladesh’s Refugee Camps 42 Mohammed Ayyub Khan, confirmed to Fortify Rights that the RSO detained Rohingya men in No Man’s Land, saying: “We destroyed all the drugs and seized weapons. ... We arrested some Rohingya men.”197 A Rohingya man, 23, arrested by RSO told Fortify Rights: “RSO detained me. ... They tied me and kept me. ... After an hour and a half, we were blindfolded. … The RSO detained around 45 people along with me.”198 During his detention, he witnessed RSO members beating other abducted men: “Where we were detained, RSO members tortured five or six Rohingya in front of me. They said, ‘You are keeping ARSA here by providing food and territory.’ The men were being kicked, and their hair was pulled.”199 Another Rohingya man, 18, abducted in the same group from No Man’s Land, said: “RSO blindfolded and detained us in a place on the Bangladesh side. [They] didn’t give us any food until the afternoon. ... [RSO] caught us and brought us toward Bangladesh. We were tied up from morning until about 4 p.m.”200 After his release, he went into hiding: “We fled because there have been many incidents. People have been killed, burned to death, houses have been set on fire.”201 The violent clash in No Man’s Land reportedly displaced Rohingya refugees from No Man’s Land.202 Later, Bangladesh authorities moved some of the refugees displaced from No Man’s Land into a transit center operated by UNHCR and the government and later relocated them to different camps.203 On January 19, 2023, a day after the attack on No Man’s Land, men believed to be associated with RSO detained Dil Mohammed—a prominent Rohingya leader whom RSO suspected of being associated with ARSA—along with others.204 A man who was with Dil Mohammad on the Myanmar-side of the border told Fortify Rights how Dil Mohammed returned to Bangladesh to negotiate with RSO and the Bangladesh authorities: RSO was occupying all of Zero Point, and they started burning all the shelters. RSO members announced on loudspeakers, “You people who are in Zero Point, go to Bangladesh side.” ... Dil Mohammad and his two sons … approached the RSO, after it was announced on the loudspeaker, to talk to them. Dil Mohammad and his two sons came to the Bangladesh side to speak to RSO 197 Fortify Rights interview with F.E., location withheld, Bangladesh, 2023. 198 Fortify Rights interview with B.A., Bandarban District, Bangladesh, January 28, 2023. 199 Ibid. 200 Fortify Rights interview with A.I., Bandarban District, Bangladesh, January 26, 2023. 201 Ibid. 202 “Rohingya Settlement on Bangladesh-Myanmar Border Torched Amid Fighting,” Radio Free Asia, January 18, 2023, https://www.rfa.org/english/news/myanmar/rohingaycampfighting-01182023153549.html. 203 See, Fortify Rights interview with F.C., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, August 31, 2023; Fortify Rights interview with F.I., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, September 5, 2023.

One man who knew him told Fortify Rights “Dil Mohammad did not work with anyone. He worked with various organizations—Rohingya rights organizations and human rights groups as a politician—but did not work with armed groups. If ARSA ever called Dil Mohammad, he would have to go, but even if he did, he would disagree [with them].” Fortify Rights interview with E.D., Bangladesh, May 22, 2023. Fortify Rights has been unable to verify Dil Mohammad’s affiliations with Rohingya militant groups.
