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''.
