At 10 AM on 10th
September 2013, Maung Daw District Police led by the officer U Shwe Thein
arbitrarily arrested five brothers in a Rohingya family in the village of Bura
Shidda Fara (U Kye Kya), northern Maung Daw.
One of the five
brothers was tortured to death in the cell. The remaining four are still in the
cell and being tortured. They are:
1) Shor Mulluk S/o
Khala Meah (Age 40) (Still in the cell)
2) Thazar Mulluk
S/o Khala Meah (Age 35) (Still in the cell)
3) Mohammed Hashim
S/o Khala Meah (Age 28) (Still in the cell)
4) Mohammed Amin
S/o Khala Meah (Age 27) (Killed in the cell)
5) Mohammed Salim
S/o Khala Meah (Age 23) (Still in the cell)
The body of
Mohammed Amin was discharged from hospital at 11AM on 11th September 2013 and
buried the following day. The police asked the villagers not to inform the case
to anyone. Besides, police threatened that they would burn down the whole
village and shoot everyone to death if the villagers report the tragedy to the
international community.
“The accusations
against these innocent brothers are nothing but lame. They were accused of
robberies that took place in the house of U Iqbal S/o U Naju Meah in the
village of Ngan Chaung of the Bawli Bazaar village tract (Report Here). In
fact, those robberies were carried out by armed Rakhine dacoits.Besides, They
were arbitrarily accused to have links with foreign militant groups, which is
totally false. Police are doing it in order to conceal the robberies they are
carrying out in Rohingya houses in the region in coordination with Arakan
Liberation Party (ALP)” said an elderly Rohingya.(Source: Aung Aung on Twitter,
