I. Killings, Abductions, Torture, and Threats by Rohingya Militant Groups in Bangladesh’s Refugee Camps 44 A month later, when he had still not joined ARSA, an ARSA commander told the man’s relatives: “‘Now, [he] is not following our orders.’ They told [my relative], ‘When we find [him], we will not forgive him.’ They told [my relative], ‘All your family members will be at risk.’”213 The youth activist told Fortify Rights that he reached out to UNHCR but did not get a response: “I have sent an email to UNHCR. I have gotten no response. I called the [UNHCR] focal protection person in my camp, but he didn’t pick up. I have tried calling at least five times, but he has not picked up the phone.”214 He told Fortify Rights he fears reporting the incidents: “Recently, our head majhi was beaten badly by ARSA members, and [they] accused [him] of informing the police. Similarly, if I go to tell the authorities, I’ll have the same fate as my majhi.”215 * * * A majhi told Fortify Rights about incident in January 2023. He said: “[ARSA] came to my shelter and surrounded it by holding guns to look for me, but they couldn’t find me as I was hiding outside the camp. ... That terrified me.”216 He went on to say that a few days later: “[ARSA] came to my shelter again looking for me. They kicked on the shelter wall angrily. They [also] spread messages on social media, saying they will kidnap my son and my young daughter.”217 Speculating on the reasons ARSA targets Rohingya leaders and majhis, he said: “ [ARSA members] are targeting camp chairmen and majhis because they know we are cooperating with the [Bangladesh] authorities all the time. They think the authorities will know about [ARSA] movements through majhis.”218 * * * In early October 2021, Bangladesh police ordered a Rohingya majhi to accompany them to the crime scene where refugee community leader Mohib Ullah was assassinated to share information with them about ARSA.219 Afterward, ARSA threatened him by phone, forcing him into hiding.220 He told Fortify Rights: On that call, a person asked me, “Do you know me?” I replied, “I don’t know you.” Then he told me that he was a commander of ARSA, and he told me that they have evidence and reports against me saying that I’m helping the police apprehend [ARSA members]. ... I’m the senior [majhi] of my camp; that’s why [ARSA members] are threatening me. 221 “They even killed our leader [Mohib Ullah],” he told Fortify Rights, explaining that no one is safe from ARSA retaliation.222 * * * 213 Ibid. 214 Ibid. 215 Ibid. 216 Ibid. 217 Ibid. 218 Ibid. 219 Fortify Rights interview with Z.D., Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, October 21, 2021. 220 Ibid. 221 Ibid. 222 Ibid.
