Meanwhile, the military crashed a one-year-and-six-month-old baby by their boots during the hours of brute and arbitrary use of force. And the baby died instantly. She was “Anwar Begum” daughter of U Khalu and Daw Dildar Begum. When her parents asked the military for the dead body so as to bury it accordingly, military rather harrased the parents and took the body away.”
Since 5th November 2013, Pauktaw twonship administration and military from the battalion 233 have been forcing Rohingya IDP in Sin-Htet-Maw (Sandama) camps, (Pauktaw township) to evacuate the camps and move to the camps built at the village of Nget-Chaung. The reasons why Rohingya IDP in the camps do not want to move to the Nget-Chaung camps were mentioned in the earlier report.
