Arakan Army Spokesperson Khine Thu Kha said, “Myanmar army is definitely committing war crimes and crimes against humanity

Every civilian of Arakan ─except Muslims  who also pray to Allah ─ pray to Lord Buddha for an end  to their suffering from invading Myanmar Army which is killing and beheading people of Arakan every day after Myanmar Army and Myanmar government announced to conduct clearance operations in the lost northern Arakan to Myanmar.

The criminal Myanmar before the ICJ Court ignores what the ICJ sentences it to comply with genocide case versus the Rohingya and it is also daring to commit genocide again on Arakan origin who are suffering from any angle of oppressive Myanmar since Myanmar or Burma occupied Arakan very much cruelly.

Myanmar soldiers shot and killed 7 villagers during the custody and detained 6 more civilians in Kyauk Tan last May. The lawless killing sparked international and national human rights organizations’ criticism, Arakan News Site writes.

Arakan News continues to write on it site that Arakan Army spokesperson Mr.Khaing Thu Kha who depicts how Myanmar army commits war crimes and crimes against humanity in Arakan are as follows:

Arakan Army Spokesperson Khine Thu Kha said, “Myanmar army is definitely committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

He said, “During this high time of Covid-19 pandemic, governments all over the world are encouraging their people for homestays, but Myanmar colonial government forces to evict the Rakhine people out of their homes while the air force, navy, and ground troops are targeting and killing the civilians in order to clear all villagers from their homes.”

Mr.Khine Thu Kha said, “International communities should take drastic actions against the Myanmar government and the army for ruthless military operations against the Arakan and non-Burma ethnic people when they are facing Covid-19 threat. Otherwise, the military is continuing repeated war crimes and crimes against humanity on the Rakhine or Arakan  and non-Burman ethnic people as they have been doing these kinds of atrocities for over 70 years.” 

“There is no domestic law to protect Arakan and non-Burma ethnic people for assaulting war crimes and crimes against humanity. Myanmar government is accommodating its Army’s war crimes, criminals over and over as sponsor of state terrorism. It will never end.”

He urges, “International laws should be applied, and international communities and the world bodies should bring the perpetrators to justice once for all,” he said.

Part-1

17 June 2020

This video clip shows the images of military exercises by the troops wearing sport trousers from a battalion of Myanmar Army under the command of No.44th Light Infantry Division on 8 and 9 June 2020 that is permanently stationed on the Pagoda of Thin-Gijt-Taw mountain in Mrauk-U township of Arakan.

The Thin-Gijt-Taw Pagoda, built on the top of the 500ft height Thin-Gijt-Taw mountain, lies 5 miles away from North of Mrauk-U. It was built in the East of Pauk Taw Pyin village. Some troops from the battalions under the command of No.44th Light Infantry Division have been destroying the Arakanese ancestral and historical heritages by not only digging bunkers on the platform around the Pagoda but also building stronghold in the Pagoda compound. 

It has been not only long time but also several times, the Burmese racist invading army (Tatmadaw) has been deliberately destroying the Arakanese ancestral and historical heritages as a hallmark of foreign invaders to carry out sabotage acts, since their scorched-earth campaign and sea-land-air joint operations against civilians of Arakan have been launched. 

For instance, after the creation of a phony war on 19 March 2019 the Burmese racist invading armed forces launched a major attack with heavy and light weapons into the Pagodas of the Arakanese ancestral and historical heritages in Mrauk-U, the capital city of the Kingdom of Arakan, which can be recognized as a World Heritage Site. Artillery shells fell and exploded near the monastery and pagoda, causing damage to the temple. The 540th Light Infantry Battalion of Myanmar Army based in Mrauk-U, the artillery base on the Shwe mountain, the Police Battalion in Mrauk-U and Police stations launched attacks across Mrauk-U town without a single battle. Our organization had already released a statement numbered 7/2019 concerning this sabotage act.

For many months in the year of 2019, the Burmese racist invading troops had used monasteries, schools and civilian-properties and stationed in San-Gar-Taung village, Nan-Yone-Taung village, Shut-Shar-Taung village, U-Yan-Thar village, the Sin-Thi-Pyin village and on the platform of 31-Bun Historic Pagoda built in the San-Gar-Taung village in Buthidaung township. They were not merely stationing in the places but also launching indiscriminate attacks that hit and caused damage to the 31-Bun pagoda. In addition, cracks appeared in the Pagoda due to the vibrations of artillery shelling. This sabotage act was committed by battalions under the 22th Light Infantry Division. 

For so many times, the Burmese racist invading army has launched artillery strikes, filled with full of racial hatred, on local inhabitants day and night not only at the time of fighting but also at the time of no fighting from their battalion headquarter, tactical command base, artillery bases, police battalions and the mobilizing frontline columns.

The Myanmar armed forces are using religious complex, ancient and historic pagodas, temples, entrances, monasteries and schools as their military posts, artillery bases and garrisons in the war zone and regions such as Ann, MinBya, Rathedaung, Buthidaung, Kyauk-Taw and Mrauk-U townships. Their use of cultural property and acts of hostility directed against the historic heritage sites and places of worship constitute a grave breach of the Geneva Convention and the law of war. 

As a transparent and responsible organization fighting for innate political rights for all peoples in Arakan, the ULA/AA will impart concrete evidence of war crimes committed by the Myanmar armed forces to international organizations. The general public of Arakan is also requested to send information to the nearest members of our organization if you have evidence and documents of war crimes committed by the Myanmar Army.

Arakan Army's a press briefing to the International Community

A press briefing to the International Community concerning the ramp-up of the killing of civilians by Myanmar armed forces in their punitive scorched-earth campaign with four-cuts doctrine in Arakan

The Burmese racist invading army has ramped up their campaign of firing and shelling with heavy and light weapons into the Arakanese towns and villages according to the hallmark of colonial invaders filled with full of racial hatred. It can be said that this is one of the brazenly lawless and sabotage acts of Myanmar Army that has been conducting its scorched-earth campaign with four-cuts doctrine in Arakan. Detail documentation of their horrendous atrocities in Arakan will be released later.

The Myanmar armed forces have been killing civilians of Arakan by firing, shelling and bombing from local light infantry battalions, artillery battalions, their tactical command bases, police battalions, Navy ships, military helicopters and fighter jets day and night. They have blatantly stepped up their genocidal attacks targeting civilians and villages during the time of legal proceedings before the International Court of Justice to find out whether Myanmar has breached the genocide convention. This implies Myanmar Army has brazenly committed fresh war crimes.

The racist Burmese armed forces (Tatmadaw) have always provided the justification of their attacks that they were shooting back to the Arakan Army’s assault or fighting occurring whenever they had fired into the villages. Such responses confess itself that there was no fighting but the Myanmar Army was deliberately firing with heavy and light weapons into the villages. As the cunning nature of the Burmese racist invaders, the Burmese armed forces are just implementing their wipe-out policy in the territories of non-Bamar peoples.

Similarly, the Arakan based battalions of Myanmar Army along the roads have been not only shooting and killing civilian travelers but also firing and shelling with heavy and light weapons from the Navy ships into the Arakanese villages along the river banks. The death toll and injuries are rising due to such barbaric attacks.

As a recent example, without any fighting in the area No.539 Light Infantry Battalion of Myanmar Army based in Kyauk-Taw has ruthlessly fired and shot with heavy and light weapons into A-Pauk-Wa village in Kyauk-Taw township at 13:12 pm on 10 June 2020, in which a civilian was injured. In a similar vein, at 15:37 pm on 10 June 2020 the artillery battalion of Myanmar Army based in Lin-Mwe mountain has inhumanely fired over twelve times of shelling towards a funeral service gathering in Late-Sen-Pyin village of Mrauk-U township that is located in 2 km away from that artillery battalion.

An 85 year-old woman was killed and other three women and one man were injured by artillery shelling from a Navy ship of Myanmar Army that hit the Amyint-Gyun village of Sittwe township at 00:20 am on 11 June 2020. After entering into the downtown of Ponnagyun, No. 550 Light Infantry Battalion based in Ponnagyun has carried out firing and killing of innocent civilians, shootings to terrorize civilian-residents, accusing their killed victims as revolutionaries with false charges and fabricated evidence, threatening public with their arms, and the siege of the whole town by taking inhabitants as hostages.

On the other hand, in the use of state-owned media and military-backed newspapers that are publishing false news, fabricated information, biased news, and omitted news the Burmese racist regime and the Burmese Army have been conducting a systemic propaganda to defame and discredit our organization in international. In addition, some Myanmar military mouthpiece and backed media in Myanmar are doing public grievances not to be highlighted on media but to be waned while covering up serious human rights violations and war crimes committed by the Myanmar armed forces.

The Burmese regime and its military have blocked media, restricted media agencies, threatened journalists, banned news and punished journalists not to uncover true information. Media blackout is still imposed that the state-owned media and social media such as Facebook are not only under the control of the Burmese authorities but the internet shutdown also remains for year-long. The truth about inside Arakan has vanished into darkness because the Myanmar Army has in a devious way blocked international and national media agencies not to access genuine facts from Arakan.

The Burmese regime headed by Aung San Suu Kyi and the Burmese Army have continued the spread of disinformation, rally of fabricated information, and unwarranted accusations. They are also attempting everyday to unjustifiably shift the blame on other organizations while covering up war crimes committed by the Myanmar Army. By sending false information to neighboring countries, the Burmese authorities are also trying to denigrate and disparage the Arakanese people and our organization to face serious crises. Therefore, neighboring countries and the international community are requested to believe fabricated information and misrepresentation of facts provided by the Burmese authorities after making sound judgements.

Local residents, IDPs, and refugees who have fled their homes in fear of the atrocities of Myanmar armed forces are facing the shortages of basic goods such as rice, cooking oil, salts and medicines by the four-cuts campaign of Myanmar Army. The situation can become the worst humanitarian crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic and monsoon season. This right catastrophe is only made by the four-cuts operation of Myanmar Army, not related to our struggle for humanity.

The Myanmar Army is injecting fear into the general public of Arakan by conducting the acts of state-terrorism while carrying out extra-judicial killing of civilians of Arakan in various ways. Therefore, the international community and civilized nations are hereby respectfully informed about the punitive scorched-earth campaign with four-cuts doctrine conducted by the Myanmar armed forces that is targeted to wipeout the whole population of Arakan, aimed to pose existential threat to civilization of Arakan and intended to commit genocidal crimes in Arakan.
