Ponds in a Rohingya Village Poisoned


M.S. Anwar
RB News
November 18, 2012

Buthidaung, Arakan: Around 2 am this morning, a group of Rakhine extremists from Dabru-Chaung Natala village in Buthidaung Tsp secretly entered Ywet Nyo Daung Rohingya village in the same township. They poured poison into as many as 50 Ponds in the village.

“They came into the mentioned Rohingya village secretly around 2AM. When they were caught and asked by Rohingya villagers why they entered the village, they replied they were in the village in search of frogs. Later in the morning, upon finding some suspicious packets of poison around as many as 50 ponds, the villagers informed the authorities. Then, Military and Police came to investigate. And they found that the ponds were poisoned.

No actions were taken against the conspirators despite their obvious and witnessed conspiracy. On the contrary, the authority threatened the villagers not to inform it to the higher authorities at any rate. Some of these conspirators are:

1) Phoe Thar Gyi 
2) Min Zaw 
3) Maung Myint Swe 
4) Htun Kyaw” reported by Rohingya Youths in the region.

Besides, there were two Rohingyas slaughtered in Myaybon Township on 15th November 2012. They, altogether 10 Rohingyas, were out to catch fish by a boat at night. Meanwhile, many armed Rakhine terrorists surrounded them by a few boats. Two Rohingyas were killed in the attack and others escaped. Next morning, their dead bodies were found floating in the river. The profiles of the killed Rohingyas are:

1) Khalu S/o Kadir Hussain Age 52 Years 
2) Soyed Amin S/o Kabir Hussain Age 28 Years

No action has been taken against the Rakhine terrorists although Rohingyas reported to the local authority according to a Rohingya in the township.

Rohingyas in Arakan are living in fear of being massacred again like the previous two times on June 10 and October 21 respectively. They fear that it might happen again especially after the departure of President Obama.
