2-Security Force Kill a Rohingya Fisherman

At about 10:30PM on 29^th October 2013, A 45-year-old Rohingya, Zahid Alam S/o Abdul Hakim, was shot dead by Hlun Hteins (Security Force) at GE Island (GE Kyun) nearby Nantha-Taung village tract, northern Maung Daw. The killed Rohingya man was from Ward 2 (Sammakara) of Taung-Pyo subtownship, northern Maung Daw.

The security force shot at him while he and his son were fishing nearby the said island. Bullents hit his chest and he instantly died. His son took the dead body home. Later police arrived at his home and took the corpse to the hospital for post-mortem.

Myanmar military, police and security force have been killing innocent Rohingyas since June 2012 like killing birds. And later, they take out their body organs through post-mortem. Therefore, killing Rohingyas has become a sort of business for them.
