findings iV: impact of movement restrictions If official permission has been obtained, respondents reported that it is often not respected by police, and that they are subjected to violence and intimidation at checkpoints regardless of permission status. Police intimidation has deterred some respondents from seeking the healthcare that they need. “I don’t even go out anymore because I am afraid of the check posts and what they do to us when they see us at the check post,” said Mohammad, a 71-year-old Rohingya man. “Once I went there for medical treatment and it was also very difficult to manage with them to go outside to the hospital. Now, I hardly ever go there for medical examinations. I feel very bad to see the police, what they are doing with us and that they are playing with us like we are a football.” 100 Police violence has serious consequences for Rohingya health. Beyond blocking access to care, the police also exhibit a profound lack of sympathy and compassion for even the most vulnerable Rohingya in the camps, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Zahir, a 25-year-old Rohingya man, shared his family’s experience of seeking healthcare for his grandmother: “The guard told us to go and die in our place. And, the other day, we brought our grandma to HCR hospital to get treatment, and when we were returning from the hospital by CNG (small motorised vehicle), suddenly the police arrived in front of us and stopped our vehicle. And the police beat us with a stick, including our grandma whose age is around 80. It is really very hard to survive here as a refugee.” 101 100 101 Interview C09M Interview C26M 58
