19th November 2012 Maung Daw, Arakan- Police in Maung Daw led by U Aung
Kyaw Kan, a high ranking officer and the team leader of Nay-Tin (Region
Control Team), have been attempting to destabilize the Region for days
now. They have been arresting many innocent people for nothing. It has
started since the day on which a so-called Rohingya drug trafficker
called Abdu Zabbar (in 50s) was arrested by the NaSaKa (Border Security
Force) in Nay Myay (Region) 6 in Maung Daw.
"The NaSaKa in Nay Myay 6 said that they recently arrested a Rohingya
drug trafficker. According to the NaSaKa, the trafficker said upon
investigation that he used to traffick drugs in partnership with a
person called Salim (a Rohingya) from Quarter 5, Maung Daw. The irony is
that without confirming who the person called Salim is, the Police is
arresting everyone with the name, Salim from the said village.
So far,
they have arrested 6 people with the name. The way the Police raid the
village everyday to arrest Salims is like warring against Rohingyas. So,
it automatically stimulates neighboring Rakhine extremists to resume
violence against Rohingyas.
But the shocking thing is the person said to be arrested was known to be
a PUPPET of the government" said a Rohingya elder from Maung Daw on the
condition of anonymity.
Since Maung Daw Police is trying to re-create the violence against
Rohingyas in Maung Daw using a made up case, Rohingyas are afraid of
becoming victims again. Therefore, Rohingya community appeal to the
President to take against these Police officers who have been oppressing
them for decades.
These Police officers have been in Maung Daw for more
than 10 years without any transfers to other parts of the country. At
the same time, Rohingyas request to the international communities to
help them out as they are still the victims of the targeted violence and
severe persecutions though their situation is made to look calm
externally.
