Maungdaw, Arakan State: Burma’s border security force (Nasaka) arrested the father of a woman accused of a love affair with a boy, on January 7.
The Nasaka (Burma Border Guard Force) extorted Kyat 200,000 from him for what a close relative of the man said was a false and fabricated allegation.
The man was identified as Salam Ahmed (55), from Maung Nama, of Nasaka area No.6, of Maungdaw Township.
Locals said the Nasaka, along with the present Village Administration Officer, Deen Mohamed (25), alleged Ms. Khatiza (18), daughter of Salam Ahmed, had an illicit affair with a youth named Kalu (13), son of Abdu Rahman, from the same village, three months ago. The boy has been working at her house as a laborer for six months.
After his arrest, Salam Ahmed was brought to the Nasaka camp where he was detained in stocks and ordered to pay Kyat 200,000 for his release, said a neighbor.
“Even though the father Salam Ahmed and his daughter Ms Khatiza and the boy Kalu jointly denied the Nasaka’s allegation against them, but the Nasaka did not take any attention,” a local source said.
“The boy is only 13 years old. Why does the Nasaka with the help of village administration officer accuse the girl and extort money? It is only because they want to harass and demoralize Rohingya community by using their power.”
