Kyauk Ni Maw, Arakan – Rakhine terrorists torched two Kaman houses in Kyauk Hta Yan village, Kyauk Ni Maw hamlet, Rambre Township on June 9, 2013 at early morning 3 am.

Although there was a heavy rain at that time the houses were burnt down to ashes. According to the villagers the houses were poured with gasoline and set fired. 

An eyewitness told that three Rakhine men from Ka-Su-Kaing village were going through the village before the fire broke out. And he also heard the sound like gun-shot twice. The fire broke out after the sound. So the villagers believe that the Rakhine terrorists poured the gasoline first, and then shot with the gun or something like gun to trigger the fire. 

Even there was an eyewitness to the arson attack by the Rakhine terrorists, the authorities are blaming the houses owners of being careless. The authorities are trying to hide the reality behind the arson attacks and covering it up as if normal fire was broke out. 

The houses owners are Chit Thein and Kar Thein and they belong to Kaman ethnic. They were brought to the police station in Kyauk Ni Maw by the authorities. They were pressured and also threatened to claim it as a normal fire.

The Rakhine terrorists have been trying to torch the houses in Kyauk Hta Yan village since last month but as the villagers are vigilant most of the time, they did not succeed before. However, after many attempts, they were able to burn down these two houses on 9th of June 2013.
