Looting
Yesterday evening, the whole market of Lamba Ghona (Zaw Matet) village was looted by the Natala villagers who are the new settlers in northern Arakan brought from Burma proper. This market has about 250 different types of shops owned by Rohingya Muslims. The Natala villagers looted goods from the market while giving full security to the Natala villagers by army. But, the government declared state of emergency to control the sectarian riots between Buddhist Rakhines and Muslim Rohingyas. But, persecutions are going on against the Rohingyas. What is the meaning of state of emergency? Its intention is to blindfold the international community to do freely ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya community.
Besides, the homes of Kala Meah, son of Kawlil, Habib Ullah, son of Ahmed Hussain were also looted by the Natala villagers with the help of army yesterday evening. All the goods including—rice, pea, onion, garlic, clothes, pots, plates and others were also looted.
In Maungdaw Township, harassment and looting by police have been going on since June 9. After 6:00 am, police go to the Rohingya villages and loot valuables from the well to do family members. But, the government declared state of emergency only for Rohingyas, but not for Rakhines. In practical, it is not working properly. Army and Nasaka also arrest Rohingya youths, educated persons, village elders, rape women and loot the goods of Rohingya villagers. It is a well-planned and systematic ethnic cleansing by the central government with the cooperation of state government.
A group of Natala –Rakhine from Bangladesh who were brought by Military Intelligence in 1980 – had settled east side of Bagonena village, have been looting Rohingya villages near Bagonena since June 16. They loot only gold and money. They raped females in the village if they didn’t get any money or gold.

Detained over 500 children
Police personnel and a group of Rakhine racist detained more than 500 Rohingya children including boys and girls, aged 10-13, in a primary school of Anuckpyin village without providing any foods, even drinking water. They were tortured by the authority where more than 300 children became disabled. We don’t know their fate until writing this report.
Stranded people sent to homes:
