Endless persecution of Myanmar government against Rohingyas

On 9th October, 2012, at around 10:30am, a group of police from Maungdaw Police Force arrested a Rohingya from Ward-3 (Mungala Fara), Maungdaw downtown. The police group was of four personnel, who are very famous in Maungdaw area for extorting and persecuting against Rohingya before and after the riot occurred in Maungdaw. In the group included Hla Myint as well. The arrestee is Abdu Munaf (F) U Fozol, 40 years, who professionally works for Maungdaw Court (Township) as an Interpreter and peon. As almost all the houses in Ward-3 (Mungala Fara) were looted and destroyed by terrorist Bengali Rakhine gang in cooperation with government security forces, the house of the said Rohingya was included automatically. He is temporarily staying in one of his relatives’ house in another village. He was arrested just because of his name included in the ‘Wanted List’ which was issued by the court meaninglessly. The court issued the list as per the submission of Police Force. In the list, there are many Rohingyas who were even not in Maungdaw on the day of violence. Astonishingly, some Rohingyas who had gone to Bangladesh legally with passport before the riot were included in the said ‘Wanted List’.

Sa Ra Pha (Military Intelligence) resumed extortion against Rohingyas

On 9th October, 2012, Sa Ra Pha arrested a Rohingya from Myoma Ka Nyin Tan (Shiddarr Fara), Maungdaw downtown. The arrestee was Mohammed Esurk (F) U Mohammed Sultan, 33 years, who sells a shop of bicycle spare parts near the Police Station. He was summoned by the said department through their informer. When the arrestee refused to be present to the department office, an officer from the said department came, arrested and brought him to the office. Finally, the arrestee was released after taking 2.5 lakhs of Kyats. Sa Ra Pha regularly does this kind of extortion against Rohingya community since their presence in Maungdaw after the dismissal of all National Investigation Bureau (NIB) throughout the country in 2004.
