Breaking News: Two Rohingyas Slaughtered in Kyauktaw

Wednesday, 10th October 2012 ,Kyauktaw, Arakan-

On 9th October 2012, two Rohingyas, father and son, were slaughtered reportedly by Rakhine extremists. They were from the village of Taung Taung in Kyauktaw Township. They went to a forest nearby a Rakhine village to get some bamboos. They were found slaughtered in the forest today with two bullet-hit injuries on the dead body of the father and five stabbed injuries on the dead body of the son. Rohingya villagers have filed the report to the nearest police station but no investigation is being carried out.

“A father and son from the village of Taung Taung in Kyauktaw Township went to a forest nearby a Rakhine village to get some bamboos yesterday. They didn’t come back and were missing all the night. So, the villagers started looking for them and they were found dead in the forest in a horrible situation. There were two bullet-hit injuries on the dead of the father and five stabbed injuries on the body of son. Report has been filed to the police stations. But no actions have been taken yet because to me, the killers can be none other than Rakhine extremist from the nearby village. The name of the father and the son are:

1) Khalu S/o Samad Age- 45 years (Father)

2) Bashir Ahmed Age- 22 years (son)

They were given Janaza and their bodies were buried today at 10AM today” said A. Rahim from Arakan.

While Burmese regime is lying to the world that the situation has become peaceful in Arakan, Rohingyas have been being killed in the hands of the authority and Rakhine extremists here and there on daily basis. For Rohingyas, Arakan has never become peaceful since last June and they are on the verge of extinction. Now President Thein Sein has been shortlisted in the final five candidates of Noble Prize for PEACE. It is a Peace that he has been acquiring by committing grave crimes against innocent Kachin civilians and isolated and innocent Rohingya community.
