Arrestees have been being tortured inhumanely in Buthidaung jail

Since June 2012, the military, police and NaSaKa have been collaboratively arresting the innocent Rohingya Muslims from Buthidaung and Maung daw Township, Rakhine State and confining them in jail. The arrested Rohingyas had been tortured brutally by all means before they were sent to jail as well. They were forced to be naked in jail and to eat using their mouths from the floor like animals where the foods were spread over. Most of arrestee passed away suffering severe pain resulted from the extreme abuses in the jail. Corpses were buried at a place of near to the Buthidaung jail. Last month, 43 innocent Rohingya passed away in this jail and were buried in the mentioned place. 

Currently, according to the some reliable sources, more innocent Rohingya arrestees were brought to court for hearing. But, no one is allowed to go near to the court. It is the way how they were taken to court from jail: first, they were taken to court by prison bus and when it was about to reach to the court, they were forced to crawl from the street to court like animals. Pleading is forbidden for them and they were sentenced to jail unjustly. 

The NaSaKa head that just arrived to Maungdaw as the replacement of Colonel Aung Gyi is a Rakhine Buddhist himself and have been arresting the innocent Rohingya Muslims with lame reasons. The native Rohingya Muslims are too afraid to go out of their houses till now. The extremist Rakhine Buddhists are igniting the genocide and local security forces cooperating with them.
