Une coalition d’organisations de défense des Rohingyas a accusé l’Armée d’Arakan de mener une série d’attaques violentes contre des civils rohingyas dans le nord de l’État d’Arakan (Rakhine), appelant le Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU à prendre des mesures immédiates pour tenir le groupe responsable de crimes contre l’humanité.
Le Conseil national rohingya d’Arakan (ARNC) a indiqué que près de 60 agriculteurs rohingyas ont été arrêtés sans avertissement le 25 juillet alors qu’ils travaillaient dans leurs champs à Buthidaung. Selon l’ARNC, l’Armée d’Arakan aurait ordonné aux gardes villageois de rester confinés pendant le transfert des détenus, faisant craindre des actes de torture ou des disparitions forcées.
« Leur sort et leur état de santé restent inconnus », a indiqué le groupe dans un communiqué.
L’ARNC a également signalé la mort d’un ancien détenu, Arshad, décédé au Bangladesh après avoir subi de graves tortures durant huit mois de détention par l’Armée d’Arakan. Dans un autre cas, le corps d’un homme rohingya a été retrouvé peu après que l’Armée d’Arakan ait affirmé qu’il s’était évadé.

The Arakan Rohingya National Council has called on the international community to take immediate and decisive action
The Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC) has issued a strongly worded statement condemning what it describes as a growing pattern of “atrocities” committed by the Arakan Army (AA) against Rohingya civilians in northern Arakan.
Citing multiple recent incidents, including arbitrary detentions, torture, forced displacement, and alleged killings, the council has called on the international community to take immediate and decisive action.
“These are only a few incidents among numerous other atrocities that highlight the AA’s use of mass detention, economic coercion, arbitrary killings, and fear tactics to dominate and displace Rohingya populations,” the ARNC said in its official press release on Thursday.

ANKARA
A coalition of Rohingya advocacy groups has condemned the Arakan Army (AA) for a string of violent actions targeting Rohingya civilians in northern Rakhine state, urging the UN Security Council to take immediate steps to hold the group accountable for crimes against humanity.
The Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC) said nearly 60 Rohingya farmers were detained without warning on July 25 while working their land in Buthidaung Township. The AA allegedly ordered village guards to remain indoors during the transfer of detainees, raising fears of torture or enforced disappearance.
“Their current whereabouts and condition remain unknown,” ARNC said in a statement.
The group also said a former detainee, identified as Arshad, died in Bangladesh after suffering what it described as severe torture during eight months in AA detention. In another incident, the body of a Rohingya man was discovered after the AA claimed he had escaped custody.
