Last Friday,
May 3, 2013, the Rohingya elders and religious intelligent were strongly
threatened in several meetings summoned by high-ranking officials from Military
department. ''Any of the information about the absence of any of you from
respective area during these days, and any of the attempt against the
government as well as the involvement in the newly 'jihad' reportedly being
organized in Bangladesh, will be liable to be shot death, so beware!
The government
has also increased security measures and deployed special intelligent agency to
inspect anyone at the Rohingya predominant area. A point here deserving of
attention is that the government formed people's Militia with modern weapons in
all village tracts of Arakan. According to the Eleven, the Burmese 1st domestic
Media Group ''Myanmar has beefed up security measures and tightened...'' and
''We have been reported the terrorists are trying to enter the country and
attempt bombing. So, we have ordered to set up security measures. We must be
always alert as they may wait for the chance to attack. Security has been
tightened at the border check points, ''Ref; Min Aung Lt.Col. from Headquarter
of Myanmar Police Force. The Burmese government through unofficial print and
online media, is now believed to be rhetorically trying to have a chance to
carry out another massacre under the cover of State security and stability
through mass arrest extrajudicial killing of innocent Rohingyas, and
restriction on movement and other human rights abuse.
As the media
turned the baseless accusation to helpless Rohingya citing, ''the Muslim living
in Myanmar, espicially hardcore members are campaigning for enlisting their
conspiracy'' and ''The main targeted areas are Maungdaw Township and Buthidaung
Township where Bengali(refering to Rohingya) migrants account for 90 percent of
the total population ''they added. Now, Rohingyas are likely being targeted by
the authorities as it happened before.
According to
Mr. AKF Jelani, an exiled Rohingya activist and former candidate for MP from
NLD in 1990, ''From May 1994, North Arakan had become a new killing Field. At
SLORC death camps of Maungdaw and Buthidaung Townships, Rohingyas were
tortured, shot and slaughtered, more chilling is that the people were to dig
their own grave before being killed or buried alive. Alleging as RSO sympathizers,
Rohingyas were taken late at night from their homes and were tortured to death
and buried alive, ''he mentioned more 'under the pretext of looking for
insurgents, random killing in the villages is a regular routine action of the
SLORC/SPDC brute forces''.
