(MAUNGDAW, Arakan State) - On April 17, 2013, police detained more than forty Rohingya. They were teenagers, youths and adults from Kyeinn Chaung (Bollibazar) and Aung Sit Pyan, from the Maungdaw district in Arakan. During raining days and nights in Arakan, Buddhist Rakhine boys and old men work individually and in groups to search for frogs from the farm fields near Rohingya villages and housing compounds, typically using a light torch, long steel sharpened rods and containers. Heavy rains and extreme winds came on the night of 16 April 13. Traditionally, the Rakhine went out to hunting frogs to the areas of Rohingyas’ vegetable farms and houses’ fences. Some Rohingya men were watching their respective vegetables farms at night from their huts. While Rakhine were going to steal the vegetables and seasonal crops at the field, the Rohingya owners asked them not to steal their farm’s products. The Rakhine took forcibly whatever they needed and told the owners "why you are here, (i.e., out of houses) at night as you are planning something to attack us," then they left. As soon as the Rakhines arrived in their village, they complained the police, claiming a plan was launched against them by Rohingya civilians at the farm fields. Instantly, the cop teams from Bollibazar police station surrounded the village and caught out the Rohingya, consisting of rich, poor, and labors, around 40 in number, people who had ommitted no illegal activity or actions. Some are able to pay bribes, ten to five lakh kyat. The former Rohingya village administrator of Kyeinn Chaung, Muhammad Idris, a famous businessman, had to pay 10 lakh to set free. Most of the arrestees who are unable to pay demanded lots still detained in the custody. Some detainees out of forty are: Mohamed Farooq is an activist and a B.Sc. Engineer in Electrical and Electronics.
