Than Dwe, Arakan - Around 50 Rakhine members of 969 Rakhine terrorist Franchise in Arakan led by the in-charge of “Ye Aung Hlen” bus station, Kyaw Kyaw, surrounded a Police Station in Than Dwe Township demanding a Muslim boy rumored to have relationship with a Rakhine girl. Subsequently, six houses of Muslims were destroyed in the quarter of An-Taw. Besides, a motor vehicle stop called “Kaung Kin Thit Sar” owned by Muslim was also vandalized.
When asked to local Muslim in Than Dwe, he explained “there are many rumors being spread by Rakhine terrorists so as to trigger violence against Kaman Muslims again.
Rumor #1
A Muslim boy has proposed a Rakhine girl through shaking hands.
Rumor #2
A Muslim boy raped a Rakhine Buddhist girl from the village of Myun-Pyin.
Rumor #3
Three Muslims on their motorbikes hit a Rakhine girl passing by. They are reportedly put in the Police Lock-Up as well.
Therefore, Rakhine terrorists surrounding and blocking the Police station are demanding the Police to hand over the three Muslims to them. Burmese military and Rakhine terrorists have been raping and abusing hundreds of Rohingya women and minor girls. Nothing is questioned about that. And they are trying to kill Rohingya and Kaman Muslims for something they haven’t done at all.”
He further expressed his fear “the way they blocked the Police station today was very much like they had done in Kyauk Ni Maw and Akyab (Sittwe) few days earlier than the violence took place in June last year. Therefore, people are extremely worried if they trigger similar violence again. In fact, people are living under the terror caused by these terrorists.”
One more local of Than Dwe reported “while the Police station under their blockage, another group of Rakhine extremists from the village of Jit Htaw located at the South-West Part of Than Dwe attempted to come to the Police Station to carry out terrorist attacks. Fortunately, Military could prevent them in time.
Meanwhile, six houses and a bus station called “Kaung Kin Thit Sar” owned by Muslims were completely destroyed in the quarter of An-Taw. And after authority had imposed Curfew Order (Section 144), the situation became quiet to an extent.”
Latest Happenings: after six Muslim houses getting destroyed in the quarter of An-Taw, the situation in the town calmed down for a while. Now, Rakhine terrorists have started torching the houses of Muslims again. Reportedly, Fire Brigades also set out to the place where Rakhine terrorists are burning Muslims’ houses down.
Five More Kaman Houses Burnt Down by Rakhine Terrorists
Five more houses of Kamans in the quarter of An-Taw were burnt down by the Rakhine terrorists even amidst the imposition of Curfew Order 144. The razed houses include the houses belonged to U Myo Thit, Daw Win Kyi (a female Ob-Gyn) and the forester of Than Dwe. Although Military have taken charge of the security, they are doing nothing to prevent the torching of the houses giving an excuse that they have not got any order for action yet.
