Maung Daw, Arakan - Around 2AM this morning, a joint department of NaSaKa (Border Security Force), Police and Military together with some Rakhine extremists raided and looted two Rohingya houses in the village of Shujah (ShweZar), Maung Daw. Besides, of the two families that got looted, all the members of the first family were arrested and are now detained in the NaSaKa Camp No. 14 under the Commandment Area No. 6. 

“Around 2AM this morning, a joint department of NaSaKa, Police and Military together with some Rakhine extremists broke into the houses of Abul Shadar (around 60 years old) and his brother in-law, Ramzan Ali (around 36 years old) in the village of Guna Fara Village Tract of Shujah village. In the first house, Rakhine extremists stabbed Abul Shadar at his back and hit his wife and daughter at their heads as they tried to shout out. That left their heads bleeding and led them to unconscious state. 

Then, they looted Kyat 1Million and gold jewelries weighed around 245 gram. On top of that, they all (i.e. 11 family members) were arrested without any reason and are now detained in the NaSaKa Camp No. 14 under the Commandment Area No. 6. At the same time, the house of his bother-law, Ramzan Ali, also got raided and Kyat 0.5Milion and around 114 gram weight of gold looted” said a Rohingya from a nearby village. 

“It is very difficult to do anything when Rakhine extremists come together with the enforcement agencies and loot our houses. We can’t protect our lives, dignity and properties here. We don’t know what our future holds in the hands of these evils in human forms” he exclaimed.
