Buthidaung, Arakan- Rakhine (Magh) terrorists have posed an open threat against the Rohingya people living in the village of Payin Latt (Fouy Mali) on 8th April 2014.

“On 8th April 2014 night, Rakhine terrorists attached a threat letter on the wall of the Jameh Masjid (Mosque) of the village of Payin Latt (Fouy Mali) in Buthidaung. The threat letter reads ‘we will soon set this mosque on fire. If any of you tries to stop us, we will destroy and burn down your entire village’” said a local of the village.

Local Rohingyas are extremely worried because of this open threat and any possible arson attacks on them.

“Some people witnessed that more than one hundred armed Rakhine (Magh) terrorists arrived at the village of Paya Pyin Aung Pa (Natala Rakhine) Model village on 9th April 2014 night. We suspect them to be members of Arakan Liberation Army (ALA). On 10th April 2014 morning, Rakhines from the village bought many goods, food items etc in bulk from the local market and took them into the (Rakhine) village. We have never seen any Rakhine buying so many goods and other food rations in bulk. It was extremelyunusual. We are extremely worried because if anything happens, both these terrorists and the government forces will target us first. It has become almost like a lawless land ruled by savages” he anxiously added.

American Buddhists Promote 969 Movement With Website

Irrawaddy News: July 9, 2013 A group of American Buddhists has launched an English-language website promoting the 969 movement, in response to negative media surrounding the ultra-nationalist Buddhist campaign in Burma. The website aims to dispel “myths” about the movement, with a letter from nationalist monk Wirathu to a Time magazine reporter whose article about 969 was banned in Burma.  “We’re not officially endorsed by Ven Wirathu at this time but will send a delegation to his monastery soon,” a spokesperson for the site said via email, adding that the group would create a nonprofit to coordinate “969 activities worldwide in response to religious oppression.”
