Maungdaw – The Burmese army continues to commit atrocities
against the Rohingya and destroy plunder and destroy of their villages in
Maungdaw, while the international authoritative bodies choose ignore.
9/11/16 11 PM: This early morning, the Burmese army besieged
the west hamlet of the Baggona village tract. The army along with Border Guard
Police and some Rakhine extremists conducted raids at many Rohingya houses and
plunder them in the absence of the people who fled in fear of the arbitrary
arrests and extrajudicial killings. They plundered almost everything in some
houses starting from jugs and cooking pots.
They rounded up the women in the hamlet and threatened them
to make their men present before them (the army) for investigations the soonest
possible. Else, they would burn down their homes and expel them from the
country. They also besieged Nyaung Chaung (Haadir Bil) today; and are checking
household lists and members.
9/11/16 2 PM: Of the 13 Rohingya civilians arrested during
the army siege at KoeTanKauk (Don Say Fara) village in Rathedaung on November
6, two people have been freed, six have still been detained at the KoeTanKauk
Monastery and the remaining 5 were kept incommunicado.
And again, more 13 people were arrested during the raid at
KoeTanKauk IDP Camp on November 7. Of them, 8 people have been freed and 4
others have still been detained at the Monastery.
The one Rohingya youth rumored by the military to have been
escaped from their hands while in detention at the Primary School of KoeTanKauk
actually died due to the tortures by the troops and the Rakhine extremists, a
reliable source said. He was buried at the premise of the school, the source
added.
All these 10 people (6 of 13 arrested on November 6 and 4 of
13 arrested on November 7) are still being tortured at the KoeTanKauk Buddhist
monastery.
9/11/16 2 PM: Some seemingly Burmese Border Guard Police
(BGP) in civil uniforms have been plundering the local Rohingyas at the
road-junction (kwa sone) in the ‘Yan Aung Myin’ hamlet of Kyeing Chaung
(Bolibazaar) village tract, northern Maungdaw, for weeks.
They robbed Kyat 50,000 from Abdu Salam, all the properties
of Khalu and Kyat 25,000 from Salimullah along with his belongings. They all
are locals of Yan Aung Myin hamlet. The robbers hold swords and knives while
robbing the Rohingyas.
The BGP Camp is located just nearby but they let his happen
because these people are either their members or have collaborations with them.
