8 Burmese cheated by a local then arrested
Cox’sbazar
The Burmese detainees, which were illegal immigrants to
Bangladesh, were working together with a local man named Habibullah
in Khutakhali Village in the Cox’s Bazar District where they earned 4000/-Taka altogether from
their hard job. The local cheated them out of their earnings and ran away to
his village Gazaria, which is in the same district.
The Burmese angry with the dishonest act, chased after him
to get their earned wages. Habibullah was, however,
able to organize his relatives and other villagers to capture and send the
Burmese to the Gazaria Police Camp, where they
misidentified them as robbers.
According to the local source, they are now kept in police
custody and how the authorities will deal with them is not known yet. The
Burmese Muslims arrested in Gazaria Police Camp are;
Solid Mullah (40), Hossian Ali (28), Soyat Hossian (22), Abul Kasam (25), Shamsul Alam (30), Hamid Hossian (25), Abul Sidiq (30) and Mohamad Salim (25) respectively.
There are many Burmese citizens taking shelter, mostly in
the southern districts, in Bangladesh, who fled their homeland due to the human
rights violations and scarcity of jobs under the SPDC military government.#
