The NaSaKa mostly come at curfew time of the night with their puppet and troll Maung Maung Tin who enjoys 30% shares. There are many more places where the authorities are extorting money from Rohingyas by torturing and threatening to kill and that is happening on daily basis silently” reported by Rahim from Maung Daw.
“Whereas, at 6pm on 3rd August 2012, in Zular Para village of Mrauk-Oo Township, a group of Rakhine extremists numbering 8 to 10 armed with homemade weapons such as sharp-long knives, spears and lances attacked 5 Rohingya farmers near a paddy filed while coming back from their works. Consequently, two farmers died on the spot and other three, who were severely wounded, were fortunately able to escape from being killed. Then, the killers threw the dead bodies into river nearby the village. The next morning, the dead bodies were found in the river when some 40 Rohingya villagers were out on look for them. Their names and ages could not be confirmed yet. This is the second time Rohingyas were killed in Mrauk-Oo by Rakhines after the killings of four Rohingyas who also happened to be from the same village.
On the other hand, Rohingyas are unable to go from one village to another and banned by Monks and Rakhine leaders from buying foods, rations and medicines from the nearby Bazaar even though it is located within a kilometer from Rohingya villages such as Valti Para (Purin Rua), Fundukul, Tong Para, Dash Para, Zeeza Para and Zula Para. Every day, Rohingyas, most of whom are children and elderly people, are dying due to the lack of foods and medical care” reported by Mr. Hasan, a primary school teacher, from Purin Village of Mrauk-Oo at 9:30am on Saturday, 4th August 2012.
It is certain that if the situation continues for 2-3 months, all Rohingyas will die without being killed and the government’s and Rakhine extremists’ plan of extermination of Rohingyas will become true.
