“If any one – Rohingya- goes out from their villages or home, the Rakhine youths beat them in fornt of security forces. The security forces are not taking any action against the Rakhine youths.”


Rathedaung Township:


Yesterday, 32 Rohingya villagers including (4 children, 7 women and 21 old men) died in Don Say Para of Rathedaung Township by starving. Over one thousand villagers of Anauk Pyin and other villagers of Rathedaung Township migrated to western side of Mayu Mountain to take shelter as their villagers were burned down recently by Rakhine mobs with the cooperation of police, Hluntin, Nasaka and army. They are temporarily taking shelter in other Rohingya villages, but they have no food. It is learnt that army forcibly sent back some refugees to their original villages and some are stranded on the way in the open sky.  Villagers have been suffering acute difficulties such as— food, health and shelter. No one went there to see the situation of them, said an elder.


If the process is going on, all the Rohingya villagers will die by starvation. Rakhine villagers are giving threatening to the Rohingya villagers that they will kill all the Rohingya by starvation but not by slaughtering.
