of Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 352, who was appointed to the Maungdaw
south to control the violence which was
occurred between Rakhines and Rohingyas
on June 8, 2012. But, the Commander in spite of controlling the violence, he
incites violence between the two communities taking side from the Rakhine
community. He has also been committing crimes against the Rohingya villagers.
The Commander with the collaboration of Village Administrators sent cattle to
Bangladesh, which have been picked up or stolen by the Natala villagers from
Rohingya villages. The commander is doing such lucrative business, and he
becomes a rich man in the army, said a local elder preferring not to be named
for the security reason.
“Rohingya villagers
have been maltreating since long by various means and ways by the security
forces while they have been keeping in their villages like a cage. They are not
allowed to go out from their villages to access anything to do for their
livelihood,” said a youth from the locality preferring not to be named.
