Maungdaw, Arakan State : A Rohingya woman was released from Burma 's border security force (Nasaka) camp on July 22. She had been arrested and detained in the Nasaka camp in Maungdaw Township since July 20 for staying in her parent's house.
 
The victim Shomjeda Begum (24) is the daughter of Nurul Islam hailing from Maung Nama village in Maungdaw Township , Arakan State . She was asked for Kyat 500,000 for her release, said a relative of the victim on condition of anonymity.
 
However, she was released yesterday from the Nasaka camp by paying Kyat 300,000. The remaining Kyat 200,000 is to be paid by her father later.
 
She was released from the camp after two days. The camp has no special detention centre for women. "Why was she detained for two days? She could have been released after getting a guarantee from her father. What was the hidden agenda behind detaining her?" asked a village elder. 
 
Shomjeda Begum was married to Abdullah (28), son of Md. Hussain of Phar Wut Chaung Village in Maungdaw Township four years ago after permission from the authorities. But five months ago her husband Abdullah left her.
 
Unable to look after herself she recently went to her parents' house to stay with them in Maung Nama village. 
 
On July 20, a section of Nasaka personnel from Aung Mangala Nasaka camp led by camp commander went to her parent's home and arrested Shomjeda Begum and took her to the Nasaka camp on the allegation that she has been living with her parents without informing the authorities. She was detained in the camp.
 
The victim has the right to go to her parents' house after being abandoned by her husband. Her crime is that she did not inform the concerned authorities in time.
