ROHINGYA 6 MARCH 2022 - women detained at a human trafficking syndicate transit camp in Padang Besar, Thailand were treated exactly like sex slaves. They were the victims of gang rape by the camp guards. The revelation was made by a Rohingya woman, Nur Khaidha Abdul Shukur, 24, who was detained for eight days with her son who was just a few months old at the transit camp.
Every night, two or three young Rohingya women who are quite beautiful, will be taken out of the detention camp and taken to a hiding place by the camp guards." The woman was raped en masse by them (camp guards). In fact, in the camp, there were two young women who were believed to be pregnant as a result of the guards' actions," he told BERNAMA reporters through an interpreter here today.
According to Nur Khaidha, some of the women were "brought" by the camp guards for several days to become victims of their sexual savagery. "They (women) will 'disappear' for two to three days after being taken by the guards. After they were returned to the barn, I did not ask but I knew what had happened to them. ” From the look on their faces, we know," he said, adding that the women detained in the barn were not allowed to talk to each other, or would be beaten. The two pregnant Rohingya women believed to have been raped by the guards, said Nur Khaidha, had been detained at the transit camp for more than six months.
He said in the transit camp where he was detained last year, there were 15 Rohingya women victims of the syndicate, with five of them having small children. The five who had children were also detained in the cage with their children, but were not harmed by the guards involved. Maybe because we have small children, then the guards did not rape us. But no matter what, I pray every day not to be a victim of their rape, ”he said. Nur Khaidha, who hails from Maungdaw, Myanmar, dared to cross the Andaman Sea on a boat to Malaysia with her young son to track down her husband.
A few months earlier, her husband, Nurul Amin Nobi Hussein, 25, had boarded a boat from Maungdaw to Ranong, Thailand, in an effort to set foot in Malaysia. Unbeknownst to his wife, he was also detained by a human trafficking syndicate at their transit camp in Bukit Wang Burma, Wang Kelian. Compared to Nur Khaidha who was detained for eight days at the transit camp in Padang Besar, her husband was detained at the camp in the north of the country for 22 days, before he decided to flee. Nurul Amin, who now works in a workshop in Alor Setar, said the desire to find a better life made him, his wife and their son risk their lives to board "deadly boats" to Malaysia.
Just as revealed by his wife, Nurul Amin also told the story of the Rohingya woman being raped. "At night, some guards would come to the barns that housed the women and pull them out to a nearby place." "We heard the screams and cries of the women because the place where they were raped was very close to our barn-only we could not see," he said. Now almost a year has passed, Nurul Amin and his wife, are thankful to have been free from the torment and misery in the human trafficking camps. They are determined to start a new life.
