Border Guard Police Shoots Rohingya Village-Man
to Death
Maungdaw – The Burmese Border Guard Police (BGP) shot a
Rohingya village-man to death in southern Maungdaw today (on Dec 19), it has
been reported.
The unlawful killing took place at the village of
‘DuChiraDan’ locally known as ‘Kilaidaung’ at around 10 am today, when a group
of the BGP conducted a raid on a villager’s residence in the pretext of a
search for WY (Yaba) tablets.
“The group of the BGP didn’t find out any illegal materials
at the residence of U Hamid (55), s/o Noor Mohammed. Yet the BGP commander
simply dragged him out and shot him at his back at a point-blank range”, said
an eyewitness, speaking to Rohingya Vision TV on the condition of anonymity.
The group of the BGP came from the Camp 15 at the ‘Maggyi
Chaung’ village locally known as ‘Faatonza.’ After killing him, the BGP left
the body where he was killed at and they left the place without taking
responsibility for the death.
Meanwhile, a genocidal operation on the Rohingya population
in northern Maungdaw continues.

After killing Hamid, the BGP misinformed the military that
he was a militant and there are more militants hiding in the village of
Duchiradan to justify the unlawful killing.

arbitrary arrests and now the military are plundering homes in the village.
