Mrauk-U: Yesterday, a Rohingya man called Laloo s/o Khalil Ahmed, 55, from Dashfara village tract, Mrauk-U Township, went to Fifarang market to buy some chilies. Meeting him, the security forces of battalion 378, asked him by whose permission he went there. Then, they tortured him very mercilessly. Meanwhile, a boy named Abu Baker who was espying this scene of torture from his house, was arrested and forced to fill a very spacious water-container as a punishment for espying the event.

“Extremist Rakines have secret plan to terrorize afresh within 28th of this month in these villages: Reeda and Rabarang, Mrauk-U Township. The secret news was informed by a director of military security forces, who are encamped in those villages and by some Rakhine farmers, whose farms are in the very Rohingya villages” said on condition of anonymity to RB News.

On January 23, 2013, a member of village administration of Baishfara, Mrauk-U, called Kandoor, who is very familiar to the security forces of the village, was asked by them. “What is your race?” He replied, “I am a Rohingya.” Then, they slapped him on both sides of face.

Min Bya: The xenophobic and cockroach-eater Rakhines from Paik Myaung village, Min Bya Towship, have been threatening local Rohingyas in various ways. They are shouting loudly and irritating the very Rohingyas in the junctions, rendezvous and markets when they see any Rohingya passing by them by saying “Bengali”, and “we will torch your houses as we have already torched of other villagers”.
