It is more than a thriller but not a movie on the screen; it
is a reality of endless human rights abuse thriller by Myanmar military in
Rakhine State while entire region is blacking out.
On the other side of the world, UN Special Envoy Christine
Schraner-Burgener is briefing UN Security Council over optimistic view on Myanmar
government, handling violence and refugee repatriation. She even misleads
fighting with Arakan Army is hindering refugee repatriation process.
“Meanwhile, I am concerned that the heavy fighting with
Arakan Army (AA) will further impact effort toward the dignified, voluntary and
safe return of refugees,” she writes on her briefing.
In fact, the refugee repatriation is already damaged credibility
by the leadership of Myanmar unwillingness and lack of fully accepting international
cooperation before the fighting broken out with AA in earlier months of 2019.
Mrs. Schraner-Burgener tends to forget both the government
and military leaderships are parts of problem and accountable for violence and
forced relocation of the Muslim refugees.
Without the punitive actions against perpetrators through
criminal procedure but proving carrots to it alone cannot guarantee the system
of deterring further violence and maintaining justice.
Even worse, two temporary detainees Rakhine villagers are
killed during the military detention and over 5,000 villagers seeking for
shelters while internet blackout very recently.
Myanmar army arrested 10 villagers from Packtaw Pyin village
on June 20. Among the 10 arrested, Nay Myo Tun, 23, was tortured and killed in
the army custody on June 25.
Zaw Win Hlaing, 28, was killed by Myanmar soldiers while in
detention in Sittway hospital. He was arrested by the army on June 20 along
with other 8 villagers in Waythali village near Mrauk U township.
Zaw Win Hlaing badly and internally wounded while interrogation.
He was taken to Sittway hospital on June 30 but died on July 2. He was severely
beaten by stones and iron bars during detaining.
On June 29, 3,000 villagers from Lin Gonn and Kyauktan
villages, Rathidaung township, ran away when the government soldiers were
entering into the villages.
Similarity, 1,500 villagers from Taw Phua Chung village and 1,200
villager Paw Hree Pyin village, Pannaygun township, ran away and took shelter
in IDP camps in the last week of June.
On June 30, government soldiers burned down 23 farm-huts and
24 hey-straw-reserved near Min Thar Daung village, Kyawtaw township.
All these atrocities happened in Rakhine State after the internet
blackout.
UN Special Envoy Christine Schraner-Burgener is fail to
mention the war crimes Myanmar army committing persistently in Rakhine State
and their accountabilities.
There are people dying and starving every day. Myanmar
government does the killing and starving the people.
Meanwhile, UN agencies are silence to protect the civilians
and fail to provide humanitarian assistances. Instead, Christine Schraner-Burgener
calls for unified supports of her effort to pleasing the conflicting-party government
that drove out over a half million refugees from Myanmar to Bangladesh.
More rights abuses are predictable in Rakhine State since
the same leaderships of both government and Tatmadaw are in-charge of fresh
conflicts of waring with Arakan Army, which once targeted Muslim populations.
