A/HRC/39/CRP.2 witness recalled witnessing a young girl, 8 or 9-years old, who was selling vegetables, shot and killed by the police at a market. The police later said that this had been a mistake. 1332 Another interviewee described the killing of a Rohingya woman by the police: There was a small market close to my house in Hari hamlet. On 9 June 2012, I went there to buy food for my friend. At around 9:30 am, 10 police officers came to the market. One police officer shot at a 30-year old woman who was running. I saw this with my own eyes. The police took the woman in their car.1333 636. Villagers were prevented from collecting dead bodies, or even injured persons, and soldiers shot at persons who did this. 1334 Often, police or soldiers would remove the dead bodies in their vehicles. The Mission received credible reports alleging the presence of two mass graves just outside Maungdaw town on the road leading to Buthidaung. 1335 Moreover, one interviewee stated that he saw soldiers come several times at night to put dead bodies in a pit in a field. He said that dead bodies were swept into the adjacent river, where he saw them floating.1336 637. In addition to killings by security forces, the Mission received reports of killings of ethnic Rakhine by Rohingya and killings of Rohingya by ethnic Rakhine. Arbitrary arrests 638. Arbitrary arrests of large numbers of Rohingya by the police, NaSaKa and Tatmadaw was a further feature of events after 8 June 2012. This continued for some months. 1337 Many of those arrested were arbitrarily accused of participation in the violence, in an apparent act of collective punishment. One interviewee explained how, on 9 June 2012, many Rohingya were taken to the police station near Munshi mosque in big open trucks that could take about 50 people.1338 In some instances, the detainees subsequently disappeared.1339 On many occasions, the authorities offered to release a detainee against payment of a heavy bribe. People who could not pay the bribe were often transferred to Buthidaung prison. 1340 One interviewee stated: When the police or Tatmadaw soldiers arrested someone, they used to keep them for two or three days in the local police station and wait for relatives to pay them bribes. Those who managed to pay the money were released. The others were sent to prison. I was arrested, along with seven other villagers and accused of participation in the violence. Some villagers were poor and couldn’t pay the bribe. They were taken to Buthidaung prison and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. Others, including myself, bribed the authorities and were released.1341 639. Some ethnic Rakhine were also arbitrarily arrested and detained, accused of participation in the violence.1342 640. In addition to the mass arrests of Rohingya, the authorities also arrested specific Rohingya whose names were on prepared lists.1343 Young men, educated people, NGO workers and religious leaders were targeted. 1344 NGO workers from Maungdaw and Buthidaung Townships described receiving a letter asking them to go to the police station because of their alleged involvement in the violence.
