The
Myanmar armed forces launched a surprise raid on a Rohingya village
called ‘Dudan’ in Northern Maungdaw this morning and have detained at
least one hundred villagers since then, according to the reliable
sources.
Approximately
1,000 members of the Myanmar military and Border Guard Police (BGP)
jointly began to round up the village of ‘Dudan’ locally known as
‘Ludain’ at around 10:00 AM and arbitrarily detained more than 100
people in the village’s school.
While the
raids are still going on, the villagers detained are being interrogated
with at least two people reported to have been arrested thus far. They
are:
1) Idiris (20), s/o Mohammed Hakim
2) Auli Ullah (35), s/o Sayed Amin

“We don’t
know why the military and the BGP are raiding our houses and detaining
the villagers. It was all of a sudden. We couldn’t offer Friday prayer.
We are really terrified”, said a villager while fleeing to escape the
arrests by the military.
The exact
numbers of the arrestees can not be verified from any sources at the
moment and two people have been released from being held.
No harassments or molestations of the Rohingya women by the Myanmar armed forces have been reported yet.
