Nasaka (Border Security Force) taking Photos Of Rohingya Families
Maungdaw, January 01: Nasaka (Border Security Force) has been taking
photographs of Rohingya families of Maungdaw and
Though
they (Rohingyas) have family group photos, which were
taking before, Nasaka forces have been taking again
photographs of Rohingya families because of money.
They take photographs thrice a year. Now, they are collecting Kyat 1,700 per
family, he further added.
“Moreover,
Immigration authorities also come to our villages to take family photographs at
least twice a year. They also take money,” said a village old man.
Sometimes,
the Nasaka and Immigration were taking photographs
without films inside the cameras, pretending as real taking photos of Rohingya families, neglecting the Rohingyas
as knowing nothing about their deceitful works. After taking photographs, they
have never returned photos to the families. But, they (Rohingyas)
have only received once, which was taking at first time by concerned
authorities, said a villager angrily.
Rohingyas have to show their family photos, while the
concerned authority ask them to show it. To reduce or
increase a member from a family list, they have to pay Kyat 6,000 per one, said
a trader. ##
