Despite international pressure is going on, the present government is continuing its policy against the Rohingya community. It has been three months since Rohingyas have not been able to leave their houses such as in — Pauktaw, Rathedaung, Maungdaw, Kyauktaw, Min Bya, Paukktaw Pone Nar Kyun and Mrauk- Oo. Rohingyas are dying day by day as they do not have any food. Many people are being arrested, beaten and killed by security forces when they went out from their homes to buy food. They have been kept in their homesaccording to an elite Rohingy.
On September 9, some Rohingya villagers of Nyaung Chaung (Khad(ir Bill ) village of Maung Daw tried to meet the commissionmembers at around 4 pm . But, they could not meet the commission members because of threats from Dr. Aye Maung, a member of the commission. He is the Chairman of Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) who has instigated the violence against the Rohingyas and one of the main culprits of atrocities against Rohingyas. He threatened Rohingyas in many ways in front of the security forces. As a result, police Hluntin and Nasaka are encouraged to arrest Rohingya people in future. A culprit becomes a commission member means that commission is a bias, said an elder.
“Urgent UN monitor teams must be allowed into the areas and we need a UN Commission of Inquiry into who perpetrated crimes against humanity to Rohingyas, said a local leader”
