It is 65 kilometers (40 miles) north of Sittwe, where 40 thousand Rohingyas live in 24 villages. Since the beginning of the state-sponsored violence against the innocent, defenseless and helpless Rohingya populations in June 2012, at least 12 major casualties have been reported, while unknown number of tragedy cases remains behind the silence. It is true that most of the Rohingya villages are located in adjacent and in between Rakhine villages and model villages (call NaTaLa). According to some recorded documentations, on June 13, 2012, at least 35 Rohingya innocent people including children, women and elderly persons were brutally killed by the extremist Rakhine hooligans in collaboration with the Government forces. Meanwhile, 120 households were burnt to ashes in Zeekun Dan village
