 A PREGNANT ROHINGYA WOMAN KICKED OUT A NASAKA

 

Maungdaw, December 22: A pregnant Rohingya woman

kicked out a Nasaka while he checked her stomach and

whole body insincerely on 5th December, said a man to

our source who preferred not to mention his name.

 

 Every Rohingya married couple would be appeared

before the local Nasaka camp after 4-5 months of

pregnancy for the advanced registration of newborn

child, he further added.

 

On that day, the said couple --- Mohamed Nasim and

Roshida Begum (not real names), 25 and 20

respectively--- hailed from Ngakhura village of Nasaka

area No.5, under the Maungdaw Township, Arakan State,

went to the local Nasaka camp to inform the pregnancy

for registration . When the couple was being there,

the female was called in a room while the male was

sitting out side the room. Later on, one Nasaka

pretending as a doctor came to the room and was

checking the whole body of the patient insincerely, a

woman from the village said to our source.

 

In one stage, the  patient  kicked out the Nasaka

that she could not tolerate the performance of him.

Hearing the hue and cry, nearby some Nasaka forces

rushed to the spot and defused the fighting, she

further added.

 

In this connection, the couple was beaten severely by

the colleagues of the Nasaka and released by

threatening them that “ you all Kalas should be the

foreigners unless your pregnancy record is present at

the Nasaka camp,” said a relative of the victims to

our correspondent.

 

 According to our correspondent, after delivery, every

couple has to be presented again at the Nasaka camp

for registration. At the end, every Rohingya couple

has to become visible before the local Nasaka camp to

get recommendation as to enroll the baby in the family

list.

 

“ In reality, this performance is a kind of mentally

and physically harassment by the Nasaka . In other

words, Rohigyas are treated as a animals, not like a

human being by the SPDC authorities,” said a prominent

Rohingya leader to our source.
