One of the soldiers ran ahead and forced the women to stop at gunpoint. The   other two women ran away and later reported the assault to the village chairman.   Afraid to confront the Burma Army with the rape allegation, he went to the nearby   monastery and one of the monks then reported the case to Major Aung Shwe. The   Major told the monk he would take action, but nothing has happened.<\/p>\n<p>Bo Aung demanded regular payments for the Burma Army and when one of the villagers   failed to provide a chicken for him on April 7, he beat him unconscious. The   Captain made to shoot the villager, but the rifle misfired. When he was about   to shoot him with a pistol, another villager brought a chicken and Bo Aung walked   away.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate development, Battalion 232 has been laying fresh landmines in   Paletwa Township near the India\/Burma border. Widespread use of landmines in   the area occurred during 1994-1997, but this is the most recent reported use   of landmines in the villages of Nygeletwa, Pomnyamwa, Aumthiwa, Mariwa, Setalumwa   and Putuwa since then. There are reports of three landmines exploding near Mariwa   village, but so far there have been no casualties.<\/p>\n<p>Ongoing development projects including a highway between India and Burma and   the construction of a 240km border fence between the two countries are causing   displacement and the widespread use of forced labor.<\/p>\n<p>NOTES:<\/p>\n<p>Paletwa Township is considered part of Chin State but is an area populated   by Arakan, Chin and other ethnic groups. Some Arakan consider it as part of   Arakan or Rakhine State.<\/p><\/p>\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\nvar post=eval({\"id\":64868,\"title\":\"18-year-old Arakan Woman Raped by Burma Army Captain\",\"subject\":\"FBR: 18-year-old Arakan Woman Raped by Burma Army Captain\",\"admin_email\":\"info@freeburmarangers.org\",\"admin_name\":\"FBR\"});\n<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FBR REPORT: 18-year-old Arakan Woman Raped by Burma Army Captain Chin State, Burma 3 May, 2010 An 18-year-old Arakan woman has said she was raped on April 8 by Second Captain Site Bo Aung, 27, of 232 Battalion based in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/2010\/05\/03\/18-year-old-arakan-woman-raped-by-burma-army-captain\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reports","state-arakan","state-chin"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.7.8","language":"my","enabled_languages":["en","my"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"my":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64868\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.freeburmarangers.org\/my\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
