findings iI: enforcing restrictions on movement Enforcement: Forced Labour Rohingya respondents reported that camp authorities force them to guard the camps at night to provide additional security in the camps. Respondents described this as similar to how they were forced to serve as nightwatch in Myanmar. Rohingya respondents reported that five to seven people from each block are required to keep guard. Specifically, respondents reported having to guard the CIC office, the Head Maji, the police checkpoints, and the community in general. Respondents reported that one adult male from each household is required to complete sentry duty, serving from 6pm to 6am, every 10 days. Rohingya understand the reason for this requirement as being to protect the community from security threats within the camp at night, and to protect and support the APBn in general. “Five people are put on guard around the police check posts because the police are afraid,” said Shabnam, a 24-yearold Rohingya woman. “They are supposed to keep us safe, but they make us keep them safe instead.” 69 This was met with frustration as Rohingya respondents viewed camp security as the role of APBn and camp authorities, not Rohingya refugees. Respondents reported a number of negative consequences associated with failing to carry out their sentry obligations, including beatings and fines from the police. If someone scheduled for sentry is sick or has to miss their shift for other reasons, they are responsible for hiring a replacement for 200-300 BDT (2-3 USD). This sentry work is unpaid and some respondents reported a general sentiment of feeling like they are serving as “slaves” for the government. Respondents also felt that sentry duty puts them at risk because they are unarmed and not able to respond if faced with a violent situation. Reflecting on the situation, Fatima, a 35-year-old Rohingya woman said, “In Myanmar, we used to be forced to serve as night guards. A new rule has been set here as well, that we are also forced to serve the night guard. Actually, it is the duty of the police to maintain security, as they are in charge of the security, but they are forcing us to do their duty. They tell us, ‘You have to serve the night guard and provide security for us because your people are bad.’ We are very upset with this rule of serving the night guard.” 70 “Five people are put on guard around the police check posts because the police are afraid,” said Shabnam, a 24-year-old Rohingya woman. “They are supposed to keep us safe, but they make us keep them safe instead.” 69 70 Interview C05F Interview C10F 41
