Myanmar regime leaves the civilians of Arakan in a neglected state

From time to time, Myanmar regime left the civilians of Arakan in a neglected state because it supposes Arakan is historically Burma or Myanmar’s inner enemy and they believe that if they must keep pressing civilians of Arakan, it will only work for them. To prove this, there are a lot of shreds of evidence and how they oppress Arakan currently is as follows.

The mask on the face of Myanmar Human Rights commission was removed and was seen as a very ugly ogre when it accepted Myanmar military statement and  it denied  that Myanmar Military had abducted 19 Arakanese villagers from Timma village, KyaukTaw Township in Arakan, nine months ago.

Family members of missing villagers overheard and got clues that their beloved were forced to work in the Myanmar military camp but some people believe that on the evidence of Myanmar Army’s recent atrocity, it was likely to be that Myanmar Army had massacred (19) villagers and it disposes of them somewhere else.

Even if the commission did not conduct investigation due to the Myanmar Army’s restriction not to do so,  it became unilaterally to accept Myanmar Army’s denial statement.

Nine of the original group of 18 villagers were abducted from Tin Ma New village on March 13, while the other 10 from Tin Ma Gyi village were arrested by Myanmar troops on March 16 — all on suspicions of having ties to the Arakan Army. The body of one of them, Maung Win, was discovered two months later in the Kaladan River, riddled with bullet holes.

Tun Thein, whose brother-in-law Aung Nyunt and brother Aung Tha Pan are among the missing villagers, said he and others are concerned that soldiers may have killed the men.

“We want to know if they are still alive or not,” he said. “That’s why we tried to file the case at the Kyauktaw Myoma Police Station.” But a police officer there told Tun Thein that the relatives would have to file a complaint with the military, not the police.

“The police should have accepted the missing person cases,” Tun Thein said. “We have evidence.” Reported RFA media.

Local Media Narinjara News earlier reported that a group of people approached the officer of Kyauktaw Myoma police station at around 3:30 pm on 8 December to file a case of 21 missing villagers, but the police officer denied it and even threatened them with arrest.

And also a 63-year-old woman has gone to complain about her missing husband after the abduction by Myanmar troops to the police station to file a case about her beloved husband who went missing in March 2020 but the police officer again denied and threatened of her arresting, Narinjara News reported.

Family members of the missing villagers said they have evidence that the Myanmar military abducted their relatives and the soldiers involved wore uniforms with the insignia of Myanmar Army Division No. 55.

An abductee’s wife 63-year-old woman said her husband was arrested before her eyes while he was having foods at home in Tinma village under Kyauktaw township. The Burmese army personnel took him to their camp atop Taung Shay hills located nearby to their village reported Narinjara News.

MNHRC was sent a complaint by four local lawmakers, requesting investigation be conducted and action be taken against the war criminal Myanmar troops for abducting the poor villagers but it was to no avail and one can realize that the
Myanmar regime left the civilians of Arakan in a neglected state.
