A video obtained by the Rohingya activists shows the Myanmar government forces arrested dozens of Rohingya Muslims in an arbitrary and humiliating manner, which confirms to the international reports of the use of excessive force by government towards Rohingya civilians, which the government denied it.
The video revealed a number of police officers in the province of Arakan who are beating and humiliation on the number of Rohingya Muslims including under aged youth by putting their hands behind their heads during operations in one place, while another soldier filmed the scene via his mobile phone.
A Rohingya Activists said the place of the attack is located in the northern city of Maungdaw which is located in the northwest of the Arakan on the shores of the Naf river, pointing out that this shows arbitrary act of the army and the police.
This comes in light of the Myanmar authorities denying the occurrence of any violations by the army or the police, where the committees formed by the government fact-finding mission issued a statement saying that the international media published false information about the persecution of Rohingya.
In recent weeks, more than 27 thousand Rohingyas has fled Arakan due to the military operation, which the government said it was directed against the armed groups and while many survivors have confirmed of suffered rape, murder and arson at the hands of soldiers.
