On 8th October, 2012, at around 3:45pm, a Rohingya from Gawdu Thara, Maungdaw south, was arrested on the way back from mountain by military and Bengali Rakhine gang. He went to the mountain for collecting firewood. He is identified as Abdu Karim (F) U Abdu Gawfurr, 28 years. As he was severely tortured and hung, his life survival is in a critical condition. Similar cases have been being occurred throughout Maungdaw and Buthidaung townships, some of which are known by the community and some are totally unknown. Although Act-144 imposed by the central government in most of the townships in Rakhine State, it is implied only for Rohingya communities. According to the said Act, not more than 5 people can gather. Interestingly, Rakhines can even do demonstration with mass people in any part of the Rakhine State, which has been continually heard from broadcasting channels. That clearly shows that the Act has been imposed only for Rohingyas.
(B) A detainee died in Buthidaung jail
On 8th October, 2012, at around 2:00pm, one of the detainees, who was arrested in June, 2012, falsely accused for involvement in the communal violence in Maungdaw, died in Buthidaung detention center during investigation process with inhumane torture by government authority. He is Moulvi Haroon (F)xxxxxxxxx, 38 years from Du-Thanda (Hawns Sawra) hamlet, Thanda village tract, Maungdaw south. He is originally from Sittway and got married with a woman from the village mentioned above. The dead body was seen on a push-cart by one of the Rohingyas who went to Buthidaung jail in order to meet a prisoner. Many Rohingyas have been died with severe torture in Buthidaung Detention Center, but few are known. As far as the information collected, the dead body of Rohingya is generally thrown somewhere that is in hide from the public.
