Seven detained
civilians including four women were taken to Kyauk Phyu town from Sanae police
station for more interrogation after they were arrested by the military council.
Those seven
individuals are among 14
civilians, who were arrested by the
security forces soon after the Arakan Army (AA) arrested Kyaw Zin Win, the in-charge of Sanae police
station under Kyauk Phyu township.
It may be mentioned that the AA arrested police officer Kyaw Zin Win from the Sanae market area in the
morning hours of 24 July. Following the
incident, the local authority arrested those 14 civilians from Sanae
town for questioning.
Among them 7 were
released after preliminary questioning, but 7 were taken to
Kyauk Phyu.
Among the female detainees include Ma Khin Nila Nwe (20 years old, a third-year college student) and Ma Khin
Thuza Nwe (25), hailing from Kan
Byint ward of Sanae town. One of the male detainees included Aung Naing Win, a clerk of 5th ward in
Sanae town.
A member of the arrested families said, "I don't know the names of all the detainees. Only I came to know
that 3 are male and 4
female. Lately 7 individuals were taken to Kyauk Phyu
district police office.”
Narinjara News contacted the Kyauk Phyu district police chief, but he said, "I don't know. They were not
transferred to our police station.”
After the incident of the police officer’s arrest, the markets and schools remain deserted because of
security concerns. A resident informed,
the number of pedestrians in the town has also decreased.
"As markets and schools are closed, there are a few people on the road. It is even worse than the
Covid-19 restriction days. The parents have
decided not to send students to the schools,” he added.
Rakhine State security and border affairs minister colonel Kyawthura was contacted over telephone but he did not pick up the phone.
