Myanmar
police deployed in northern Myanmar seized National Identity Cards
from
Arakanese travelers who came to pass police post to look new job opportunity
in Shan
State, Myanmar on 25.8.2018 . Myanmar police allowed all the travelers
to pass their
post except Arakanese men and women from whom National Registration
Cards were
forcibly and unlawfully seized and some of Arakanese were also detained at
police post
but most of them managed to return back where they started their
journey without
getting back their cards from brutal arbitrary police.
Even if they
were citizens and their card were valid, they were not allowed to pass police
post to reach
work sites to get jobs in Shan State, Myanmar .Therefore they left their
futile, useless
cards at police post and walking back long way (200-mile)on foot.
Fortunately,
one Arakanese guy, who overheard police’s arbitrary seizing National
Registration
Cards and his compatriots were on the returning way , came to get them
in his
automobile.
The reason
why citizens were blocked to travel just within and just inside Myanmar is yet
unknown but
it is sure that Arakanese are discriminated and Arakanese are being recognized as second
citizenship status by majority Burma who rules arbitrarily Myanmar.
Some sources
disclosed that Myanmar military detective force which directed police to seize
cards from Arakanese men and women.
Independent Arakanese
News Agency, www.narinjara.com on its
facebook page, also published
this story.
According to Independent Arakanese News Agency, it wanted to contact police
post on phone to interview but particular phone number of police post which news agency was not given clandestinely.
However, we,
Arakanese people believe that majority Burma intentionally discriminates and deliberately
persecutes Arakanese people from time to time.
