Missing Bengalis trying to avoid arrest, say Myanmar villagers

ELEVEN MEDIA GROUP/ASIA NEWS NETWORK (/SOURCE/ELEVEN-MEDIA-GROUPASIA-NEWS-NETWORK)


Feb 01, 2014

MAUNGDAW - Missing Bengali villagers from Ducheertan are actually hiding from the authorities because they fear
arrest, other residents of the village told the EU Ambassador for Myanmar, Roland Kobia, and Europe consuls here
yesterday.

The consuls, including the EU Ambassador and those from the UK, France, Italy, Germany and other European countries,
of cials from the EU of ce and Rakhine State Chief Minister Hla Maung Tin, arrived in Maungdaw yesterday and met
with Bengalis from Ducheertan village. Bengali women said they are having dif culty getting food because men in the
village are hiding from the authorities. When asked by the EU ambassador why the men were hiding, a woman said that
the men are afraid of being arrested by the authorities in connection with the murder of police sergeant Aung Kyaw
Thein.

An of cial from the EU delegation asked Police Brigadier General Tin Ko Ko from the Rakhine State police force whether
the police will arrest the hiding villagers or not. The brigadier general answered, "They will not arrest them but only
interrogate them."

However, the villagers said nothing to the EU delegation about the killing of Bengali children and women as reported in
international media. Nor did they say anything about Bengali men who have been killed or arrested, sources say.

"The villagers told the EU delegation about the food shortage and some men missing," said Maungdaw MP Aung Myo
Min.

On January 13, a group of ve policemen led by the police sergeant Aung Kyaw Thein, with the support of village elders,
was conducting a regular patrol in the area when it reached the Bengali village. When the group arrived near the village
school, police say that several Bengali villagers shouted at them in their language.

The police said that when they replied, "We're just patrolling. We are not coming to provoke you. We have village elders,"
a group of Bengalis surrounded and attacked them, reportedly shouting, "Stab them!" The police said they tried to
retreat from the area as they were heavily outnumbered by the Bengalis, but a sergeant was left behind, trapped in the
village along with his M22 ri e. He was nally killed, the brigadier general told the EU delegation in his witness
statement.

The 17 Bengalis who are suspected of involvement in the case have been interrogated and charged by the authorities
under the penal codes 333, 345 and 114.
