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.

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.

A new political council representing the Rohingya people has been formed, aiming to reclaim their indigenous identity, secure rightful citizenship in Myanmar, and amplify their voice on the global stage.
The Arakan Rohingya National Council (ARNC) was officially launched on July 13 and includes members from within Rakhine State, refugee camps in Bangladesh, and the global Rohingya diaspora. Describing itself as a collective response to decades of erasure, violence, and exclusion, the ARNC says it will work toward justice, accountability, and the political recognition of the Rohingya as rightful stakeholders in Myanmar’s future.
In a public declaration, the council stated:
“We are Rohingya — a people of Arakan — and we will not allow our identity, history, and rights to be wiped from the earth.”
The ARNC was formed at a time of renewed crisis. Since the Arakan Army (AA) gained control over large parts of Rakhine State in late 2024, the Rohingya have faced a new wave of violence. The council claims more than 2,500 Rohingya have been killed in recent months, while over 150,000 have fled to Bangladesh since early 2024. Entire Rohingya villages in Buthidaung and Maungdaw have reportedly been burned, with survivors forced to live without food, medicine, or shelter.
