A fifteen year old indigenous
girl from the Hazong community has been gang raped by a gang of local Bengali
lechers at Bandra village in Moddhonagar police station under Sunamgong
district. On 26 February 2010
around 6.30 pm, Angoli Hajong,
daughter of Shailon Hazong was abducted while washing her face at the tube well
in front of her house. Her family at the time was engaged in their daily chores
outside of the house. She was taken to the baank of nearby MoheskhaliRiver tighten her mouth by towel
(Gamsa) and repeatedly raped mercilessly. The alleged perpetrators are Al Amin,
Shimul, Nirob, Mojnu and Alamgir. The perpetrators left her there when
she became unconscious.
By night time, her family began to search for her when she remained absent. By 8 pm that evening, she was found unconscious by
the side of the MoheskhaliRiver.
On 27 February 2010 family
members of the victim tried to lodge a complaint against the perpetrators at
Moddhonagar Police station but the officer in charge refused to file it. Later,
with the help of the Hazong community leader, a case has been filed against the
five perpetrators by Mr. Nayeb Hajong who is the uncle of the victim. The case
number is 7/9-1/30 dated 27.02.2010 under Nari O Shishu Nirjaton Doman Bishesh Ain.
Moreover the medical examination has been completed by the RMO of Sunamgong
district yet no perpetrators have been arrested. Furthermore the victim’s
family is being intimidated to withdraw the case by a local influential Bengali
community leader.
BIHR has taken the initiative to talk to the officer in charge of Moddhonagar
Police station on 28 February 2010
around at 7:14 pm. and the OC said
that there is no incident regarding the rape of a Hazong girl since no case had
been filed under his jurisdiction. He refused to give out anymore information
regarding this incident.
Bangladesh Institute of Human Rights (BIHR), BangladeshRehabilitationCenter
for Trauma Victims (BRCT) and Bangladesh Hasong Development Association is
deeply concerned and demand that the perpetrators be brought to justice as well
as give the exemplary punishment by arresting them immediately. It also demands
that the victim and her family be given adequate financial, physiological and
psychological support ASAP
