In the evening about 16:00pm (local time) of 21 Sept, police chief of Kyauktaw town followed by dozens of police forces selectively arrested 12 Rohingyas from Paiketay(Fishing) village with false allegation. All of these 12 Rohingyas are in deed who spoke to Inquiry Commission of president Thein Sein. During they were loading onto the police jeeps, the villagers run on the spot and confronted with police. That resulted the ten Rohingya men were able to escape but the rest two other, village vice president U Maung Nu s/o Nurboshor and Jalalluddin-19, were not because they were handcuffed on the jeep.
After taken to police station, the two men were brutally tortured up to unconscious and sent to hospital. Again in hospital, the hospital staffs said they could not grantee for their safety for several gangs are looking for them. Eventually the family members discharged both of them from the hospital with the help of military. Yet, the both men are in critical condition and still laying in the bed without medical treatment.


Despite Inquiry Commission talked to the media on the arrival of Yangon that they had been accessed easily to the affected areas and met with victims, the story of they were blocked by hundreds of Rakhines during they landed at Kyauktaw jetty and again when they were entering into Rohingya villages are not told.
It is also confirmed that the commission had not traveled to all affected areas particularly to Guvitaung, Ambari and Shwe Hlaing villages that were lately burnt down in Kyauktaw town on 5 Aug.
Moreover, the team had not also visited to Pauktaw town where Rohingya and Kaman houses plus 2 mosques from Rwa Thit (Quarter-3)Saysudaine, Quarter-4 were mainly destructed and about 1,000 of people believed to be dead according to ground reports we received.


In the afternoon about 14:00pm of 30 Sept, hundred of Rakhines and police forces came to attack thePaiketay (Fishing) village after the Rakhine leaders spreaded false news of a Rakhine sellsman was robbed his groceries and beaten-up by Rohingyas in the village. However, the sellsman is a tribe belongs to 'Mro' ethnic from U Ris Taung rushed on the spot to the scene and explained reality to the military. Finally the military drove all of those aggressive Rakhines and police forces. After revealing  the truth, police forces wisely said that they just followed to ensure the villagers' security..
