Top Priority Needed to Alleviate the Political Crisis in Arakan State
24 Jan 2018
With inconsolable grief, we suffer from the fact that 7 young Arakanese (Rakhine) people were dead and 12 other injured in the violent act of the security forces in Mrauk-U, Arakan (Rakhine) State during a public protest on the 16th January 2018. Similarly, the detention of Wai Hun Aung, a public figure and writer, and the charges against Dr. Aye Maung, a Rakhine national leader under the so-called State Treason Law and the Unlawful Associations Act, is provoking the outrage of Arakanese people. This may lead to a massive political movement and major protests.
