Myanmar Army arrests 39 Arakanese villagers forcefully


Myanmar Army apprehended 39 villagers who live in Kyauk site village, Poonagyun Township, the lost Arakan to Myanmar (western Myanmar) on April 19, 2020.

Among the arrestee, village chairman was also comprised.  The reason why Myanmar Army dares to arrest villagers is that villagers shared on social media about the coward and cruel  killing of Myanmar Infantry 550 based in Ponnaygun – which fired artillery shells to Kyauk Site village, 2 miles from the town, and killed eight villagers and wounded more than 10 villagers on April 14,2020.

Myanmar soldiers forcefully entered into village at wee hours in the morning and burgled every house, stealing mobile phones, jewels and cashes.

Meanwhile, they order everyone to gather at vacant ground in the village. The chairman of village protected elder people and disable people to remain at home but Myanmar soldiers refused and beat him severely and apprehended him with other 38 villagers.

Nobody knows where now they are because the arrested villagers are taken away to undisclosed location. The apprehension or anxiety among the people are rising. Villagers
shiver with apprehension because the arrested villagers can be tortured severely by atrocious Myanmar soldiers. As usually, during the detention of Myanmar soldiers, people of Arakan are being killed every now and then. No Myanmar administrator takes accountable and responsible and they are accomplices with Myanmar Army which commits heinous crimes against the people of Arakan.
