1- British
Delegation Blocked from Visiting Duchiradan
On 30th April 2014,
a delegation led by British Ambassador arrived at the violence-hit village,
Duchiradan (Kilaidaung), in southern Maungdaw, to observe the latest situation
in the village. However, Police blocked them from going inside the village.
Instead, Police took them to their station. Therefore, they were unable to see
the latest condition of Rohingyas victimized by government sponsored violence
in January 2014. (Report by CR MYARF)

2- Hlun
Htein Arrest a Rohingya and Squeeze Money from Him
There is a Hlun Htein (Security
Force) check-post at the bridge of Hinthara (Hossara), Zawmadat village tract,
southern Maungdaw. Around 7:30PM on 29th April 2014, five Hlun
Hteins (Security Force) from the check-post entered the village of Hinthara and
beat up every Rohingya before their sights. However, Rohingyas didn’t respond
but kept patient lest there would be another violence like it happened in
Duchiradan (Kilaidaung) in January 2014.
Afterwards, they raided the home of
Mv Majiullah (son of) Iman Hussein (of Age 39). They arrested him under the
accusation of illegally cutting woods from forest. They seized the woods
gathered at his home and also detained him in their custody, where he was
severely beaten up. Around 2AM on 30th April 2014, having
extorted Kyat 150,000, they released him around 2AM on 30th April
2014.
The woods seized had not been
illegally gathered from the forests but he bought them to repair his house. (Report

3- Military
Torture Internally Displaced Rohingyas
Second in Command of Military
Battalion 354 at the village of Bawdupha in Sittwe (Akyab) Township bullies and
tortures internally displaced Rohingyas of the camps at the village. He’s
security in charge of the region. Rohingya people are struggling to survive. On
the other hand, he extorts money from the people by abusing his power. It has
been already two months under his oppressive rule.
He harasses people that come out early
morning to sell vegetables and for daily struggles. If he finds Rohingya girls,
he bodily harasses them and sometimes, also rapes them. A woman from the
above-mentioned camps on the condition anonymity said that she was raped by
2-IC on 28th April 2014. Around 11AM on 29th April
2014, he arbitrarily detained two Rohingya trishaw drivers, Mohammed Zakir (son
of) Khandu Ishaque and Laalu (son of) Laal Boda, and severely tortured them.
Besides, he extorted Kyat 10,000 for their releases.
People are worried that if he
continues committing atrocities, there will be unrests in the region.
Therefore, they request the government of Myanmar to take necessary actions
against the officer. (Report by Husnara Bibi, Sallam Oic Group)

Govt Threaten Rohingyas to Accept ‘Bengali’ Classification
On 28th April 2014,
around 100 officials from Rakhine state government arrived at the School of

Rohingyas each from Rohingya villages in the township. They said “you can’t
take part in the Census Enumeration that will start on 5th May
2014 if you claim ‘Rohingya.’ To be able to take part in the census, you must
abandon your claim of being ‘Rohingya’ and either accept ‘Bengali’
