Maung Daw, Arakan- Starting at 8AM today (04.06.2013), NaSaKas (Border Security Force) are carrying out raids against Rohingyas in the village of Kyi Kan Pyin (Khawar Bil) in Maung Daw. NaSaKas are from the headquarter located nearby the village. They are raiding the village in order to Bengalize Rohingya villagers by means of brutal force.

“At 8AM, NaSaKa surrounded the western section and the middle section of the village of Khawar Bil. And they have been raiding the village since then. Since NaSaKa’s primary targets are Rohingya men, Rohingya men from the middle section of the village are hiding in the forest and from western section of the village, they fled to nearby villages. 

Meanwhile, the village administration officers of Khawar Bil and others were called on for a meeting by the head of the NaSaKa administration today. In their absences, NaSaKa is brutally forcing to Bengalize any Rohingya they find before them.

As the village is still under NaSaKa blockage, we are unable to confirm any carrying out any brutalities and atrocities being carried out by NaSaKas. But the villagers are really afraid” said a Rohingya youth from Maung Daw.

“Besides, NaSaKa often carry out tortures and extortion of money from the poor villagers” he added.
