Rafiq broke into tears while narrating the graphic and gory details of torture he underwent in Myanmar.
Rafiq’s narrative gives the reader a glimpse of the plight of Rohinyas who are suffering rape, arson and murder in Myanmar’s military crackdown.
“Army men locked up my sons, wife and parents in a room and set it on fire. I lost them all in fire,” said Rafiq.
His 15-year old cousin Majeda was gang-raped by four army men and then shot dead.
He said, “They spared only 26 rich men out of 155 people in the village. The rest were beheaded.”
“Are we not human? Is it our fault to be born as a Rohingyas?” he asked. (Courtesy of en.prothom-alo.com)
