A Letter from a Bleeding Heart to RB News
I, Daw Kyaut Khin at my 41, daughter of U Hla Kyaw, a widow and mother
of three children, was born and brought up at the quarter of MyoThuGyi
in Sittwe (Akyab), a place where we have been living for generations. On
10th June 2012, when Rakhine terrorists were killing and annihilating
Muslims in our quarter, I was struggling to escape the horrific scenes
with my two children (my eldest son was away from home on his trip) to
save our lives. Meanwhile, my second son, Maung Than Soe @ Mohammed Khan
(Son of U Maung Oo Shwe), was arrested and abducted by the two Police
officers, Win Tun Oo and Than Shwe, from Police Station No.1.
My Son was trying to escape from the hands of the two Police officers
and run away as he was too frightened, he was hacked with sword by the
waiting Rakhine (Buddhist) terrorists and consequently got severe
injuries on his head and right arm. I could not help and do anything as
Police dragged away my son with such injuries. As I was attempting to
run for life with my four-year-old child with a broken and bleeding
heart, we were beaten and hacked by the Rakhine terrorists. As a result,
I had to get my head stitched nine times and my four-year-old daughter
also got injuries on her hand.
As I was getting treatment in hospital for the severe injuries I was
given, I got a chance to see my son, Maung Than Soe, from a distance,
ailing from the critical injuries.
The lawmakers and authority of this country, feel it being in my shoes
what and how I would be feeling going through such pains! I can’t
explain!
On 19th December 2012, to make my heart bleed more, only the dead of my
son, Maung Than Soe, was delivered to me from the above mentioned Police
Station No.1. His dead body was full of injuries resulted from the
tortures by the inhumane police.
My son was arrested 6-7 months ago and I was never given a chance to see
him in the prison. I was never given a chance to provide him with foods
and medicines. Which country on earth will have such lawmakers who
arrest innocent people alive and return their mere dead bodies!!!
Feel it, how much pain we, weak and vulnerable people, are going
through! My father is also a pure Rakhine and my mother is Kaman.
What fault have we done?
Is our fault that we are Muslims?
Concerning the arrest of my son, Police had never given me any notice or
any other documents.
Is it that anybody here can be killed, hacked or chopped on mere reason
that he/she is Muslim??
Daw Kyaut Khin
Sittwe
