findings iI: enforcing restrictions on movement Enforcement: Detention, Arrest, and Other Punitive Measures In addition to beatings and extortion, respondents reported other punishments perpetrated by police, including being detained at checkpoints for several hours, being forced to wait in the sun, being forced to stare at the sun, and being forced to do time consuming, meaningless tasks. Some respondents emphasised that punitive measures were often accompanied by verbal abuse and insults from the police. “We can’t go outside of the home at night,” said Jabir, a 65-year-old Rohingya man. “If I go outside to use the toilet at night and the police who patrol at night see me, I’ll be arrested. They will beat me by justifying it with a fake allegation. They give us different kinds of punishments or torture such filling a water tank with a spoon, and force us to look at the sun during the day. They give such punishments that we can’t endure.” 64 Enforcement: Fencing Many respondents spoke not only of the detrimental impact of the barbed wire fences on livelihoods, healthcare, and access to food, but also of the severe impact on emergencies and crises that the fences exacerbate or even cause. Several respondents reported not being able to access emergency medical services due to fences, and others spoke of the deaths caused when fires break out in the camps and the fences prevent people from fleeing to safety. 64 Interview C25M 37
