More Reports of Rapes and Robberies Emerge from Northern
Maungdaw
Maungdaw: Burmese soldiers and
NaTaLa Rakhine villagers raided Myau Taung village in NORTHERN Maungdaw on
December 4 and raped a Rohingya woman and her two minor daughters.
On That day, at around 1 pm,
seven of the armed men forced into the house of ‘Mr. Su’ (real name withheld)
in the middle of the village.
Fearing of his arrest, as ‘Su’
hid himself somewhere, the men found his 36-year-old wife and their two minor
daughters. They pounced on Su’s wife and children and raped them in front of
one other, in a barbarian manner.
Those who were raped at Su’s
house are:
(1) RK (36), w/o Su.
(2) Y (15), d/o Su.
(3) Z (13), d/o Su. (The real
identities of the victims have been withheld for safety.)
Rohingya-owned electrical goods
shop and motorbikes were also looted at the Myau Taung village on the following
days after the gang-rapes.
Riding two motorbikes, five men
in plainclothes, entered the village of Myauk Taung on December 8, at around
3.20 pm, and snatched two motorbikes from two Rohingya villagers. Some of the
men were apparently from the BGP or army and the others were the NaTaLa Rakhine
(Magh) extremists from Tharah Oo V.T.
Armed with two guns and three
machetes, the five men stopped two Rohingyas, who were riding their motorbikes
in the village. As soon as the two Rohingyas stopped, two of the armed men took
away the keys of the motorbikes and started beating them. Fearing arrest, the
two Rohingyas ran away from the spot, leaving their motorbikes there. The five
men then left the village along with the two snatched motorbikes.
After riding some distance, the
men stopped in front of a Rohingya-owned shop selling electrical goods and some
foodstuff. At gunpoint, they took away money and all electrical goods from the
shop and ran away.
The owners of the snatched
motorbikes are:
1. Kamal (40), s/o Mohammad
Kobir
2. Furkhan (23)
The name of the shop-owner:
Eliyas (25), s/o Siddik.
