A/HRC/39/CRP.2 recovered, and ARSA members were killed. 2557 This reportedly prompted security forces to undertake violent evictions and arrests in the area, particularly around Tin May village tract, killing several people and prompting some families to flee to Bangladesh in May and June. 2558 On 22 June 2017, the State Counsellor’s Information Committee released photos of an alleged ARSA terrorist training camp in the Mayu Mountain range and published pages of information about ARSA and its activities, including the alleged killing of informants. 2559 1137. There were also public reports on killings by ARSA of members of non-Rohingya communities. On 24 June 2017, the Global New Light of Myanmar, a Government newspaper, reported that ARSA members had shot and killed two ethnic Rakhine villagers and injured two others, when they inadvertently discovered materials for explosives in Kyun Pauk Pyu Su village tract, Maungdaw Township.2560 The Mission has not been able to verify responsibility for these killings, although credible reports indicate that they may have been perpetrated by ARSA.2561 On 3 August 2017, the State Counsellor’s Information Committee claimed ARSA was responsible for the killing of seven ethnic Mro, whose bodies were found near their village of Kine Gyi, Maungdaw Township. Some had been shot and others killed by machete.2562 Credible but unconfirmed information suggests these killings were not connected to ARSA, but to unrelated criminal activity. 2563 1138. Rohingya interviewees gave accounts of deteriorating relations between the communities throughout this period, with ethnic Rakhine neighbours ceasing to engage in business relations and instances of appropriation of Rohingya land.2564 One interviewee said that ethnic Rakhine confiscated his land and fenced it with red flags, after which he no longer had access.2565 Another interviewee was told by his neighbour that his farmland was “not his land”, after which he was forced to live off his food stocks, which eventually depleted. 2566 Some Rohingya noted the breakdown immediately preceding the 25 August 2017 violence.2567 For example, one interviewee reported that, by mid-August 2017, he was no longer able to sell goods to the ethnic Rakhine.2568 1139. The Mission also received reports where ethnic Rakhine neighbours actively issued warnings to their Rohingya neighbours about impending violence. 2569 For example, one interviewee from Zay Di Pyin, Rathedaung Township, said that he was warned by an ethnic Rakhine friend of his that: You [Rohingya] cannot stay here and we cannot control the bad behaviour of our own people. The government is planning to drive away your people. 2570 1140. It is also of interest to note that, one to two days before 25 August 2017, a small group of up to 10 Hindu families left the Myin Hlut village tract in southern Maungdaw Township. They had lived in rented shops, including barbershops, but left their accommodation at short 2557 2558 2559 2560 2561 2562 2563 2564 2565 2566 2567 2568 2569 2570 268 The Irrawaddy, “Five Bodies Found in Buthidaung”, (15 May 2017); Global New Light of Myanmar, “Terrorist training camps, guns uncovered in Mayu Mountains” (22 June 2017); Global New Light of Myanmar, “Tents of violent attackers discovered in Mayu Mountain” (1 August 2018).
