M.S. Anwar | November 23, 2013

Maungdaw, Arakan: At 9:30PM on 23rd November 2013, Rakhines terrorists burnt down a two-century-old mosque called Hakim Ali Masjid located at the village tract of Myo Thu Gyi (Hain-Da Fara) andnearby the monastery of “Three-Mile Quarter,” Maungdaw. The terrorists torched the mosque on their way back home after torching Maungdaw Municipal Market. (Earlier Report: HERE).

“The Rakhine terrorists who had earlier torched Rohingya shops at Maungdaw Municipal Market were apparently going back home. There is a two-century old mosque called Hakim Ali Masjid located at the southern part of Maungdaw-Buthidaung Highway and nearby the monastery of “Three-Mile Quarter.” It falls under the tract of the village of Myo Thu Gyi (Hain-Da Fara), Maungdaw.

The terrorists were discontented as they were unable to burn down all Rohingyas’ shops at the Municipal Market due to the arrival of Military and taking in charge of the security. Electricity Department and Telecommunication Department of Maungdaw conspired with Rakhine terrorists in putting Rohingyas’ shops on fire. The telecommunication department switched off GSM Mobile Network so that people can’t inform military about the burning of the shops. Somehow, military arrived at the scene and prevented Rakhines from further damaging Rohingyas’ shops.

So, they were apparently going back home. On the way, they torched and razed the mosque.

It is a lonely mosque and has not been in use for long because the authority didn’t allow Rohingyas to repair it (the mosque). And the nearest Rohingya village is 1km away. However, there is a camp of Security Force (Hlun Htein). And they allowed the terrorists to burn down the historical mosque. It was built in 1810 CE” said a Rohingya from a nearby village.
