Minbya, Arakan – 11 Rohingyas from Minbya and Mrauk-U townships in Arakan state were killed while trying to make their way to Yangon on February 14, 20.

18 Rohingyas from Minbya and Mrauk-U townships in the southern part of Arakan state left from Minbya for Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar on February 12th. They left with the help of two human traffickers of Chin Ethnicity.

After two days of travel the group reached Kone Kar stream. The Kone Kar stream is outside of Minbya township. On February 14, they were found by and organized group of Rakhine extremists who are sheltering in the forest. When attacked, the 18 Rohingyas tried to escape from the group of thugs. Only 7 of them managed to get away. 11 people were slaughtered. This, according to the survivors who made it back to their villages after a few days. No injuries by the hands the Rakhines were reported by the 7.

The names of the 11 killed Rohingya people are:

(1) Nazir Ahmed S/o Molvi Abdul Jail (18-year-old)

(2) Kala Chay S/o Abdul Rahman (17-year-old)

(3) Maung Ba S/o Abdul Razak (25-year-old)

(4) Abdul Mabud S/o Dudu Ali (23-year-old)

(5) Zawna Bawdin S/o Fawzol Karim (19-year-old)

(10) Omar Farooque S/o Abdul Gaffar (24-year-old)

(11) Wazi Rahman S/o Abdul Hashim (25-year-old)

As the Rohingya people in Arakan state are living in an open prison, they have no job opportunity and are facing a lot of problems for their daily livelihood. To live better, they are forced to put their lives in the hands of human traffickers within Myanmar. Many have been taking dangerous voyages to other places. Many take to the sea in boats and by foot on land. Many have been killed since 2012 while struggling to reach another destination while searching for some place, anywhere any place better then where they were

Urgent Intervention Requires in Arakan

the government’s involvement and contributions into the crisis are very clear based on:
1) Imposing Curfew and Order on only Rohingya while Rakhine people are freely allowed to carry out various attacks, looting goods and casheven harden woods and pillars and torching fires.
2) Allowing security forces to shot the Rohingyas, not arresting a single armed Rakhine.
3) Seizing lands of Rohingyas which were burnt down and disposing them into concentration camps.
4) Blocking aid and foods, attacking aid workers then compelling to die from starvation.
5) Denying their rights to have rights such as medicare, education, relocation, movement.
6) President Thein Sein asking the United Nation to relocate Rohingya in a third country.
7) Fabricating false news: the local Burmese news groups and anti-Rohingya bloggers are able to report the way they like and play a major role of bias through inciting anti-Rohingya propagandas and portraying the Rohingyas as they want and provide reverse information.
8) Forcing to accept foreigner identity in the mid of humanitarian crisis.

From 8 of June 2012, total destructionacross 11 different townships of Arakan,reached at 97 mosques, about 23,000 houses. Death toll over 12,000 and nearly 200,000 people displaced and number of arbitrary detention reached at least 12,00 Rohingyas and Kaman muslims mainly from Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Sittwe townships. Many religious building and brick made homes of Rohingya were just half destructed from the attacks of Rakhines but government sent bulldozer team from Yangon to cleans all remnant building belong to Rohingya.
