Three Rohingya
farmers have been died and one other is seriously injured of land mine
explosion in Pyaung Pike village of NgaSaKyu village tract, northern Maungdaw
while plowing the paddy field today on 15 July 2017 in the morning according to
eye-witness (name omitted for security reason).
Eye-witness said,
the incident was took place when the farmers were plowing the land for paddy
cultivation while one of them stepped on land mine, probably the land mines
were planted by Myanmar government forces to hunt the assailants.
A village elder
(name omitted for security reason) said, “The land mines were planted into the
soil by Myanmar troops during the crackdown against the Rohingya civilians by
the name of assailants under the pretext of ‘Clearance Operation’ conducted by
Myanmar’s joint security forces”.
“We are in fear of
government security forces in day time, masked-men at night time and now land
mines, we must shut up our mouth unless both groups will kill us” another elder
said.
As result of today’s
incident, (1) Sayedullah 17 year old s/o Nur Alam was died on spot, (2) Feran
Ali 61 year old s/o Mohammed Sayed was died on the way to Maungdaw General
Hospital, then (3) Usman Goni 18 year s/o Mohammed Ali (aka) Kalaboda was died
in Maungdaw general hospital and (4) Hamid 10 year old s/o Feran Ali was
seriously injured, now under treatment.
According the
villagers, the peoples are died for the lack of treatment facility. The road
transport is too worse and no hospital or clinic for proper treatment around
rather than Maungdaw, is about 17 miles.
